Acinar cell carcinoma

Acinic cell carcinoma is also called serous cell adenocarcinoma. Before the 1950s, acinar cell carcinoma was not considered to be a type of salivary gland tumor. It was first systematically described and named by Foote and Frazell in 1953. Buxton knew that the tumor had malignant properties, and the WHO named it acinar cell tumor, but the clinical manifestations often recurred and metastasized. At present, it is mostly considered to be a low-grade malignant tumor.
