“There was extensive but patchy acinar atrophy and parenchymal fibrosis, but no evidence of fat necrosis, pseudocyst formation, or calculi.”

“All 8 of these samples with pancreatic acinar cells were from patients with autoimmune gastritis.”

“The antral mucosa showed pancreatic acinar cell metaplasia and intestinal metaplasia.”

“Six cases of false positive patients were reported: 2 acinic cells carcinomas, 2 pleomorphic adenomas, 1 dermoïd cyst, 1 branchial cyst.”

“Most of these tumors have likely been diagnosed as acinic cell carcinomas in the past because of some histologic overlap between these 2 tumors.”

“A left parotidectomy was also performed, and the final pathology was consistent with acinic cell carcinoma with positive margins.”
