Summary
A rare case of intraosseous acinic cell carcinoma, a low-grade malignant salivary gland tumor, was found in the mandible. This highlights the importance of considering rare salivary gland tumors in jaw bone lesions.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Oncology
- Head and neck cancer research
Background:
- Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, low-grade malignant salivary gland tumor.
- Primary intraosseous salivary gland tumors are exceptionally uncommon, with few documented cases.
- ACC typically arises in the parotid salivary gland.
Observation:
- A case report details a 65-year-old female patient.
- The patient presented with an intraosseous tumor in the left mandible.
- The tumor was diagnosed as acinic cell carcinoma.
Findings:
- The diagnosis confirmed intraosseous acinic cell carcinoma of the mandible.
- This represents an extremely rare presentation of ACC.
- The tumor's location within the jawbone is a key characteristic.
Implications:
- This case expands the known spectrum of salivary gland tumor locations.
- Highlights the need for considering rare entities in the differential diagnosis of jaw bone lesions.
- Contributes to the limited literature on primary intraosseous salivary gland malignancies.
