| Summary: | We present a case of a 63-year-old male with an 8-year history of a left-sided cystic facial mass which recurred despite multiple drainage procedures. Imaging findings showed a cystic mass in the left parotid gland and it was surgically resected. Pathology confirmed it to represent a mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, a relatively newly described entity. This case illustrates that mammary analogue secretory carcinoma can masquerade as a cyst within the parotid gland. Keywords: Parotid gland, Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, Acinic cell carcinoma, ETV6-NTRK3 translocation, Magnetic resonance imaging, Cystic mass
