Abstract;Oncocytoma is a rare tumor commonly found in the salivary gland. Here we report a case of oncocytoma arising in the parotid. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed a moderate number of cell sheets of oncocyte-like cells, strongly suggesting oncocytoma, whereas neither CT scan nor MRI were informative. We believe that fine needle aspiration cytology is a useful diagnostic modality for oncocytoma. (author abst.)
