Oncocytoma, also known as oxyphilic adenoma or mitochondrioma of the parotid gland is a rare benign tumor constituting less than 1.5% of all parotid lesions. As there are no characteristic imaging findings, this lesion often poses a diagnostic and clinical challenge. We present a rare case of a parotid oncocytoma posing a diagnostic challenge in a 55-year-old woman presenting with a facial mass. We hope to bring awareness of this benign entity affecting the parotid gland.
嗜酸细胞瘤,也称为嗜酸性腺瘤或腮腺线粒体瘤,是一种罕见的良性肿瘤,占所有腮腺病变的比例不到1.5%。由于没有特征性的影像学表现,这种病变常常带来诊断和临床方面的挑战。我们报告一例罕见的腮腺嗜酸细胞瘤病例,该病例给一名出现面部肿块的55岁女性带来了诊断难题。我们希望提高对这种累及腮腺的良性病变的认识。
