Acinic cell carcinoma, a salivary gland tumor, mainly develop in [[parotid gland]] (81000 out of 100000), less common, it occurs in the [[submandibular gland]] and [[Salivary gland tumor|minor salivary glands]] of [[palate]].it belongs to the family of [[adenocarcinoma]] with similarities like: [[Adenoid cystic cancer|Adenoid cystic]], [[Mucoepidermoid carcinoma|Muco-epidermoid]], low-grade [[adenocarcinoma]], some [[Breast cancer|breast cancers]]. The development of acinic cell carcinoma is the result of multiple genetic mutations that suggest association of tumor suppression genes such as:, [[Chromosome 5|chromosome 5q]], [[Chromosome 6|chromosome 6p]], [[Chromosome 17|chromosome 17p]], deletions of [[Chromosome 6|chromosome 6q]], loss of [[Y chromosome|chromosome Y]], [[Down syndrome|Trisomy 21]], molecular studies suggest that [[retinoblastoma]] pathway also can be involved with acinic cell carcinoma.

Overview

Acinic cell carcinoma, a salivary gland tumor, mainly develop in parotid gland (81000 out of 100000), less common, it occurs in the submandibular gland and minor salivary glands of palate. It belongs to the family of adenocarcinoma with similarities like: Adenoid cystic, Muco-epidermoid, low-grade adenocarcinoma, some breast cancers. The development of acinic cell carcinoma is the result of multiple genetic mutations that suggest association of tumor suppression genes such as: chromosome 5q, chromosome 6p, chromosome 17p, deletions of chromosome 6q, loss of chromosome Y, Trisomy 21, molecular studies suggest that retinoblastoma pathway also can be involved with acinic cell carcinoma.
