Abstract
Sebaceous adenoma is an extremely rare tumor located in the parotid gland. In the English literature, less than 10 cases have been reported. Sebaceous adenoma represents 0.5% of all monomorphic adenomas. The authors are presenting a case of sebaceous adenoma of the parotid gland in a 65-year-old female who presented a mass on the left parotid area that had been gradually enlarging for one year without symptoms of pain. On imaging (ultrasound), a well-defined mass lesion in the left parotid area was seen. Histopathological findings were consistent with sebaceous adenoma. Surgical excision is curative. The prognosis is excellent, with a low recurrence rate. The present case report will increase the awareness and possibility of this rare tumor occurring at an unusual site, thereby avoiding any chance of misdiagnosis.
