Abstract

Acinic cell carcinoma refers to a malignant low-grade tumor of the salivary glands. Hyper nasality and misarticulation are the two major symptoms noted in individuals having a carcinoma of this type. The post evaluation was suggestive of improved speech intelligibility.

Keywords: Acinic cell carcinoma, resonance, speech, soft palate.
