*Tumor may affect the facial nerve or other adjacent tissues depending on its location
==Overview==
*Prognosis is most favorable when the parotid gland is involved
 
*Progression of acinic cell carcinoma is slow but it may involve adjacent tissues if not treated adequately.
==Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis==
*Acinic cell carcinoma can spread to adjacent organs and eventually be lethal if not intervened on time.
 
*The prognosis is more favorable when the tumor is in a major salivary gland; the parotid gland is most favorable, followed by the submandibular gland
===Natural History===
*The least favorable primary sites are the sublingual and minor salivary glands
 
*Large bulky tumors or high-grade tumors carry a least favorable or poor prognosis and may best be treated by surgical resection combined with postoperative radiation therapy
 
===Complications===
 
===Prognosis===
