Abstract

Oncocytomas of the salivary gland are uncommon neoplasms that are characterized by polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and relatively uniform nuclei. They are benign in nature and have a low recurrence rate with complete surgical excision. Though uncommon, oncocytic and clear cell variants of malignant tumors may histologically mimic oncocytomas and identification of their distinguishing features is essential. A classic example of an oncocytoma is discussed.
