A definition or brief description of Acinar cell carcinoma.

A malignant tumor arising from secreting cells of a racemose gland, particularly the salivary glands. Racemose (Latin racemosus, full of clusters) refers, as does acinar (Latin acinus, grape), to small saclike dilatations in various glands.

This definition is at least in part based on: Anonymous (2023), Acinar cell carcinoma (English). Medical Subject Headings. U.S. National Library of Medicine.
