Oncocytoma of the Parotid Gland: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Oncocytomas are rare epithelial neoplasms of the salivary glands, composed of oncocytes, which are large cells with granular eosinophilic cytoplasm that contains excessive and atypical mitochondria and round to oval vesicular nuclei. They commonly involve the parotid glands. Incidence is 0.5%- 1.5% and they have been correlated to various viral infections. FNAC is increasingly being used in the diagnosis of these salivary gland lesions, but becomes challenging because of similar histology between various lesions. We report a case of oncocytoma of the parotid gland in an elderly female who underwent superficial parotidectomy. Keywords: Oncocytoma, Parotid gland tumor, Cytology, Superficial parotidectomy.
