[Oncocytic carcinoma of the parotid gland].
We report the case of an oncocytic carcinoma of the parotid gland affecting a sixty year old woman that was revealed by a right inferior facial paralysis. The histological features were observed in the parotid gland and in the right superior cervical nodes. The originality of this observation as compared to the other very rare cases of oncocytic carcinoma reported is the undoubtful malignant features present right away.
