The differential diagnosis is centered on tumors whose histologic
characteristics are similar, such as mucoepidermoid carcinoma, sebaceous
cell carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, mixed tumor, and metastatic renal
cell carcinoma. The course of acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland following
surgical and nonsurgical interventions is variable. Frozen sections are often
unreliable because they have difficulty distinguishing a renal carcinoma
from an oncocytoma, an odontogenic tumor, and an acinic cell, thyroid,
and lung carcinoma. |
