Secondary malignancies are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood cancer survivors. Salivary gland tumors account for about 6% of the second cancers. The majority of these are mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) of the parotid gland. We report the clinical and pathological features of a rarer histological type, acinic cell carcinoma (ACC), in a childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivor. The behavior of secondary ACC appears similar to primary tumor and similar treatment may be adopted. Early recognition and complete resection is important for achieving a good outcome. Careful monitoring for recurrence or a third malignancy is needed. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc. ; link_to_subscribed_fulltext
