Oncocytic adenoma of the parotid gland with psammoma bodies.
An unusual slow-growing tumor was found in the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland. It was multilobulated and encapsulated and consisted of sheets of epithelial oncocytes and minor foci of myoepithelium and ducts. Psammoma bodies were abundant. An antibody directed against keratin protein was localized in all tumor cells and in ductal but not acinar elements of adjacent parotid tissue. Ultrastructurally, the neoplastic cells proved to be ductal epithelial and myoepithelial oncocytes.
