Abstract
Introduction: De-differentiated acinic cell carcinoma of salivary glands is an uncommon variant of acinic cell carcinoma characterized by the co-existence of both low grade acinic cell carcinoma and a high-grade de-differentiated component as well as an aggressive clinical course.
Case Report: Herewith, we are reporting a case of de-differentiated acinic cell carcinoma which was present in mandibular region. A 35-year-old female patient reported with a chief compliant of a swelling since one month and pain since 15 days in the lower left back tooth region. To the best of our knowledge, this location has never been described in de-differentiated acinic cell carcinoma as parotid is the most common site for its occurrence.
Conclusion: Despite the rarity of intraosseous acinic cell carcinomas, one should be well aware of this diagnostic possibility, emphasizing the need for histopathological analysis, a clearly defined and guided treatment strategy, and an adequate follow-up to check for the possibility of any recurrences.

Keywords: De-differentiation, Low grade acinic cell carcinoma
