Abstract :

We report a case of parotid swelling in a 65 year old male, with history of similar complaint 6 years back. At that time, the excision biopsy had revealed a pleomorphic adenoma. Now, the patient presented with swelling in the same site. An FNAC also revealed a pleomorphic adenoma. The histopathogy of the excised gland, however, revealed a mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
