Abstract:
Intraductal papilloma is a rare benign salivary gland tumor that occurs most commonly in the minor salivary gland. We recently experienced a case of intraductal papilloma arising from the parotid gland in a 24-year-old woman. Radiologic imaging shows a well-circumscribed unicystic mass in the right parotid gland. Superficial parotidectomy was performed. Micoscopically, the mass has papillary epithelial proliferation within the dilated lumen of the salivary duct. We report this case with a brief review of literature.
