Acinic cell carcinoma is a salivary gland malignant epithelial neoplasm. It is characterized by cytoplasmic granules of zymogen. It is ranked as the third most common salivary gland malignancy in adults. We report a case of a 45-year-old male who for the past 15 years has been presenting a huge right-sided mass in parotid region associated with dysphagia. He underwent Total Parotidectomy right. The excised specimen was sent for histopathology, which turned out to be acinic cell carcinoma.
