Abstract
Background: Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant epithelial neoplasm that commonly occurs in the parotid gland. It is known to have a high recurrence rate and the potential to metastasize to the lung or cervical lymph nodes. However, few cases of ACC with bone metastasis have been reported in the medical literature.
Case summary: The clinical significance of this case report lies in the unique site of occurrence of the metastasis: To the best of our knowledge, this report is the only literature documenting ACC arising in a shoulder mass.
Conclusion: Unusual presentations of uncommon malignancies can present diagnostic challenges for both surgeons and histopathologists. It is important to be aware of these rare occurrences in order to provide the best possible treatment for patients.
期刊介绍：
The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
