AIM- To report a rare case of salivary gland tumour of the nasal cavity originating from the nasal septum. BACKGROUND -Acinic cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity is an exceptionally rare tumour.These tumors account for almost about 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms .It also accounts for about 10-15% of all malignant salivary gland neoplasms. CASE DESCRIPTION- We present a case of 42 year old female patient who presented with complaints of left sided nasal bleeding and nasal obstruction.On further evaluation ,she was diagnosed with rare salivary gland tumour,an acinic cell carcinoma originating in the nasal septum of the left nasal cavity.She underwent left lateral rhinotomy with complete resection of tumour and regular follow-up with no further radiotherapy intervention. CONCLUSION - Acinic cell carcinomas are very slowly progressive ,low grade malignant tumour with good prognosis.Though,surgery remains the main stay of treatment and radiotherapy post-operatively to prevent micro metastasis and recurrence.In our case surgery was the only modality of treatment for this tumor in this case as there is no recurrence of tumor till date.
