MeSH Heading: Carcinoma, Acinar Cell
Tree Number(s): C04.557.470.200.025.215
Unique ID: D018267
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018267
Annotation: coordinate with precoordinated organ/neoplasm term
Scope Note: A malignant tumor arising from secreting cells of a racemose gland, particularly the salivary glands. Racemose (Latin racemosus, full of clusters) refers, as does acinar (Latin acinus, grape), to small saclike dilatations in various glands. Acinar cell carcinomas are usually well differentiated and account for about 13% of the cancers arising in the parotid gland. Lymph node metastasis occurs in about 16% of cases. Local recurrences and distant metastases many years after treatment are common. This tumor appears in all age groups and is most common in women.
