Among head and neck malignancies salivary gland malignancies constitutes less than 5%. This case presents a malignant neoplasm of parotid gland. A 64 year old male patient came with a painless, hard, mobile swelling present over the left side pre-auricular region was presented. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed benign and premalignant features. Magnetic resonance imaging and biopsy of the tumour showed PT2 PN0 Mucoepidermoid carcinoma – Parotid, low grade, margins focally involved by the tumour. Superficial parotidectomy was done without injuring the facial nerve. Post-operative period was uneventful. Facial nerve functions were intact. Histopathology report confirmed malignancy of the parotid gland. Most of the parotid swellings are benign but it also includes some of the malignant tumours. Early detection of such tumours through multidisciplinary team approach and good clinical history will give favourable disease outcomes.
