There are only a few reports on the terminal clinical course of patients who received palliative care alone. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 130 patients with head and neck cancer who accepted a policy of palliative care alone at our institute between March 2008 and February 2018. Median overall survival (OS) was 3.6 months. Patients’ age, histological type, primary site, palliative treatment or use of opioids did not influence OS. On the other hand, OS was significantly shorter in patients with distant metastasis (p = 0.004), those who had received second-line chemotherapy (p = 0.033), intervention by the palliative care team (p = 0.023), those with steroid use (p = 0.005), and those who spent their terminal period in our hospital (p = 0.005). A significant correlation was found between the palliative treatment period and the total period of terminal care (r = 0.631, p < 0.0001). These results suggest that longer palliative treatment may extend the entire course of the terminal period. Since the survival period of patients with head and neck cancers under palliative care alone is generally short, patients’ quality of life is the most important issue to be addressed in this period.

Acinic cell carcinoma is a relatively rare malignancy of ductal cell origin that accounts for 1–6% of salivary gland neoplasms, and often occurs in the parotid gland. Acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland in children is extremely rare. A 10-year-old boy was referred to our hospital because of left parotid tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging T1 examination revealed a low signal and T2 examination revealed an iso-high signal. The formation of cysts was observed inside, and many of them had hemorrhagic change. There was no characteristic finding in the preoperative imaging diagnosis, and schwannoma was considered. The maxillary branch of the facial nerve was involved in the tumor, and the facial nerve was resected. There has been no clinical evidence of recurrence or metastasis for 3 years since the surgery.
