We report a case of isolated cerebral metastasis from an acinic cell carcinoma, which arose in minor salivary glands 20 years previously. The clinical, pathologic and ultrastructural features are described, together with a review of the literature, which suggests that this is an unusual occurrence.

β¦ Synopsis
We describe a case of acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the parapharyngeal space in a 58-year-old woman. A tumor originating from the deep lobe of the parotid gland was totally excised by an external cervical approach. The occurrence of ACC in the parapharyngeal space is extremely rare. We discuss the management, especially surgical procedure, of ACC in this area.
