Abstract
Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors are among the most challenging tumors of the head and neck region to diagnose and treat. Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an extremely rare extra-parotid malignant neoplasm of the PPS. Herewith, we report a case of extra-parotid, low-grade solid pattern ACC diagnosed in a 55-year-old male who presented with a left parapharyngeal bulge. Despite its rare occurrence, ACC of the PPS should be included in the differential diagnosis of PPS tumors.
