We describe the rare case of a 13 year-old girl with a hypervascularized sebaceous adenoma of the parotid gland. Our case is one of only thirteen other cases of parotid gland sebaceous adenoma to be reported in the literature. The difficulty in diagnosing sebaceous adenomas of the parotid gland preoperatively has been reported previously and as such we present a literature review to typify the clinical and histological characteristics of sebaceous adenoma when present in the parotid gland.
