Abstract

Cystadenoma is a rare benign epithelial tumor commonly located in minor salivary gland regions that produces smooth-surfaced nodules. There is a female predilection and the most common age is about 57 years. Histopathologically, it is characterized by predominantly multicystic growth with adenomatous proliferation of the epithelium. The epithelial lining is frequently papillary and rarely mucinous. Woman, 58, complained of a slowly growing large painless mass on the left side of her face. Intraoral examination noted a well-defined, homogeneous, smooth-surfaced nodule/mass in the parotid duct region.
