We report a case of acinic cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid in a 18-year-old young man. Clinical examination showed a firm mobile mass of the gland. Light microscopy revealed the tumor composed of two distinct cell populations: a main one with large, polyhedrical or round cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and a smaller proportion of granular cytoplasm clear cells. These tumor cells were periodic acid Schiff reaction (PAS) and mucicarmine staining negative. Immunohistochemically tumor main cells exhibited diffuse positive reactivity for cytokeratin and focal for S-100 protein. Both reactions were negative in smaller cell population. Was formulated a diagnosis of "non-specific glandular cell-type of acinic cell adenocarcinoma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.
