title: Value of imaging and aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of oncocytic carcinoma.
abstract: Oncocytic carcinoma of the parotid gland is a rare neoplasm. To date 70 cases have been described in 55 reports. To the best of our knowledge the simultaneous occurrence of oncocytic carcinoma and second malignancy in another site (outside the parotid gland) has not been reported. An oncocytic carcinoma of the parotid gland is described in 56-year-old male with simultaneous breast cancer, emphasising the value of aspiration cytology and imaging procedures in the diagnosis of parotideal neoplasms.
