Oncocytic Carcinoma of the Accessory Lobe of the Parotid Gland

Oncocytic carcinoma is a rare tumor of the parotid gland. An additional case, characterized by an exceptional localization in the accessory lobe of the parotid gland, never reported to date in the literature, is described. The clinical and histologic difficulties in relationship to the diagnosis of a midcheek mass consisting of an unusual tumor are emphasized.
