title: A case of giant cell tumor of the parotid gland.
abstract: In this study, we report a recent patient with a giant cell tumor located in the parotid gland. This condition appears to be very rare; there have been only a few reports of similar patients. The origin of the tumor has remained unclear in previous patients, as well as in our present patient, and awaits further investigation.
