Papillary-Cystic Variant of Acinic Cell Carcinoma in the Lacrimal Gland

Abstract

Papillary-cystic variant of acinic cell carcinoma is a rare tumour confined to salivary gland tissue. Here, we report the first case ever to manifest in a tumour affecting the lacrimal gland, a completely different tissue type, and review the current published literature on this type of tumour.
