Abstract

Dermoid cysts (DC) are benign tumors that rarely occur in the parotid gland and are composed of ectodermal and mesodermal cells. Fewer cases of dermoid cysts occurring in the parotid gland have been reported so far. We report here a case of a patient who presented with slow growing tumor on the right side of his face for the past 4 years. He underwent a superficial parotidectomy with intact facial nerve post operatively. Histopathological examination of the resected tumor specimen revealed a DC.
