ACC Pathology Images




	This page of our site is specifically devoted to Pathology IMAGES, and related information. Literature on this subject can be found on the ACC Literature/Articles/Information page, under the heading “ACC Biologic Characteristics”. You may also find applicable information on the ACC Stages and Grades page. Some relevant data will also show up on the “ACC Characteristics / Properties” database, on the page of that title. Whenever possible, we have included the pathology images directly accessible on this page. Due to the ever-expanding world wide web, we cannot possibly include all the relevant pathology images available out there. We hope that the ones we have found serve your needs. If you wish to search for more, we have included lists of Pathology-related resources in our “General Cancer and Medical Resources” page. Note: As of 6/2002 there is data indicating that Secretory Carcinoma of the BREAST may be an identical cancer, so we have tried to include some pathology on that disease as well. However, there is even less available on that than acinic cell carcinoma. We have included those images at the end, in their own Secretory Carcinoma section. We have arranged images alphabetically by source. Acinic Cell Carcinoma Pathology Images and Related Information (arranged alphabetically by source) (includes Salivary, Lung, Pancreatic versions) BioScience.org – Frontiers in BioScience; Lecture Series Salivary Gland Tumors; Clinical and Pathological Features Author: S Tabibzadeh BioScience.org – Frontiers in BioScience; Lecture Series Vol 3, z1-129, January 1, 1998 Dept of Pathology, Moffitt Cancer Center and University of South Florida, 12902 Magnolia Drive, Tampa, FL 33612 2 images on several pages of detailed examination of Acinic Cell Carcinoma, including, microscopic features, ultrastructural features, immunohistochemical features, differential diagnosis, etc. The sections on Acinic Cell Carcinoma are one small part of a comprehensive, yet easy-to-navigate site on all salivary gland cancers.
