electron microscopic and immunohistochemical features of 24 cases of acinic cell carcinoma are described. Microscopically
the tumors were composed of acinic cells
clear cells
vacuolated cells
intercalated duct cells and nonspecific glanduar cells. Electron microscopic study revealed some tumor cells contained zymogen granules or tonofilament et al. Immunohistochemical studies showed tumor cells were positive for keratin in all cases
but some tumor cells were positive for vimentin in fourteen cases. Our findings showed tumor cellular components has heterogenity and support the idea of pluripotent duct cell origin of this tumor
