“…FNACis done to avoid histological surprises. Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology serves as the primary approach to diagnose parotid tumors [5] . The use of FNAB in conjunction with clinical and radiological evaluation may help to reduce false positive and false negative results [5] .…”

History and Examination:A 30-year lady presented to the General Surgery OPD with complaints of a slow-growing painless swelling in the right parotid region for 1 year. A single, 4×3 cm, vertically oval, firm, non-tender, freely mobile swelling was palpated in the right parotid region. Investigations: Ultrasonogram revealed a well-defined hypoechoic lesion in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland-possible Pleomorphic adenoma. USG guided FNAC from the swelling showed features of Pleomorphic adenoma. Treatment: Total conservative parotidectomy. Histopathology: Sections from the superficial lobe showed salivary gland characteristics with few lymphoid follicles. The deep lobe showed histopathological features suggestive of Pleomorphic adenoma. Conclusion:A diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma of the superficial lobe of the parotid was made basing on clinical examination & investigations, and was planned for superficial parotidectomy. However to our surprise, apart from the essentially normal superficial lobe of the parotid gland, a tumor in the deep lobe of the parotid gland was found, and hence proceeded with total conservative parotidectomy.
