Oncocytoma of The Parotid: A Rare Entity
Oncocytoma is a rare, benign salivary gland neoplasm composed of oncocytic cells abundant in mitochondria. Microscopically, the presence of oncocytes is the hallmark of this lesion. Oncocytic cells are large polygonal cells having abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, and round central to eccentric nucleus. In this article, we are discussing a rare case of oncocytoma in a thirty-seven-year-old female with a swelling in the right parotid region. We highlight the importance of careful histopathological examination for diagnosing these entities.
