We describe the presentation, management, and clinical outcome of a massive acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland. The primary tumor and blood underwent exome sequencing which revealed deletions in CDKN2A as well as PPP1R13B, which induces p53. A damaging nonsynonymous mutation was noted in EP300, a histone acetylase which plays a role in cellular proliferation. This study provides the first insights into the genetic underpinnings of this cancer. Future large-scale efforts will be necessary to define the mutational landscape of salivary gland malignancies to identify therapeutic targets and biomarkers of treatment failure.

Abstract Dedifferentiated acinic cell carcinoma of the salivary gland is an uncommon variant of acinic cell carcinoma, characterized by the coexistence of both an usual low-grade acinic cell carcinoma and a high-grade dedifferentiated component, as well as by an accelerated clinical course. We describe a case of acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland in a 67-year-old woman, which recurred 4 times after surgery and radiotherapy. The recurrences consisted of residual foci of acinic cell carcinoma intermingled with a high-grade epithelial proliferation; the latter was focally constituted by cells with morphologic and immunohistochemical features of myoepithelium.
