Acinic cell carcinoma originating in the nasal cavity.

The nasal cavity is a rare site for an acinic cell carcinoma. We have treated one such tumor in a 68-year-old man. He underwent a Denker's operation under general anesthesia and then received postoperative irradiation at 50Gy. He has been kept asymptomatic for the past 2 years. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the third report on the acinic cell tumor in the nasal cavity. A brief literature review is also presented.
