Demographic trends and disease-specific survival in salivary acinic cell carcinoma: an analysis of 1129 cases.

Abstract

Acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy that most commonly arises in the parotid gland. Characteristics of AciCC are slow growth and a long clinical course. As a rare tumor, population-based studies are limited. We analyzed the incidence and survival for AciCC using a national population-based database.
