An Extremely Rare Case of Sebaceous Adenoma Involving the Parotid Gland.

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.
