  Oncocytic papillary cystadenomas are rare benign salivary gland neoplasms. Minor salivary glands are frequent localization for this neoplasm. We report a case of oncocytic papillary cystadenoma of the parotid gland, occurring in a 53-year-old male as a slowly growing, well defined cystic nodule of 1.5 cm in diameter. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) was performed by using 25-gauge needle by the (cyto) pathologist. Few small sheets of epithelial and oncocytic degenerative cells with extensive granular debris on the background were observed on FNA smears. Few tabular or petal form, non-birefringent crystalloids were noted in the background of scanty cellular specimens composed predominantly of oncocytic cells. On histopathology, unilocular cystic lesion with papillary structures lined by oncocytic cells and tyrosine-rich crystalloids within the lumen were identified. In conclusion, oncocyti.. Read More»
