title: Rhinosporidiosis of the parotid duct cyst: cytomorphological diagnosis of an unusual extranasal presentation.
abstract: This cytology report highlights a case of rhinosporidiosis of the parotid duct cyst not associated with nasal manifestations. In an endemic area, one should be familiar with its morphologic features in fine-needle aspiration cytology even on scanty material, for it could be one of the investigations in the initial workup of a case.
