title: Canalicular adenoma of the parotid gland: a case report.
abstract: Canalicular adenoma is an uncommon benign neoplasm that occurs almost exclusively in the upper lip and, very rarely, in other sites. We describe a case arising in the left parotid gland as a firm, painful mass, in order to underline morphological and immunohistochemical findings, particularly in relation to differential diagnosis with low-grade carcinomas of the salivary glands.
