Abstract
Salivary gland tumours are uncommon, representing less than 6% of head and neck neoplasm. Pleomorphic Adenoma is the most common benign epithelial salivary gland neoplasm, comprising 50%-74% of all parotid tumours. It is followed by warthin’s tumour (4-14%).It is more common in males between 60 and 70 years of age and is closely related to smoking. The growth of this tumour is slow. Preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of a parotid mass plays a pivotal role in differentiating neoplastic from inflammatory lesions as well as management of patients. We report a case of a 70 year old male chronic smoker who presented with bilateral painless swelling in the parotid region.
