Case reports detail diagnosis of parotid oncocytoma in two patients, suggesting the need for accurate histopathology confirmation of rare tumors.
Tumors of parotid glands are majority benign and commonest of them is Pleomorphic adenoma. Parotid Oncocytoma is a rare parotid tumor with incidence of 0.1-1.5% (rarest of salivary tumor type) of all parotid tumors, and it occurs in 6-8 decade of life. Patients commonly presents with a painless swelling in face. Because of its rarity and clinical presentation of tumor, there is a tendency to misdiagnose it. Only histopathology can confirm it. In these two case reports we have presented a case of 21 years old male and a 31 years old female with painless swelling in parotid gland and diagnosis of Oncocytoma has confirm by Histopathological examination.
