Abstract
The accessory parotid gland is an anatomical variation with incidence of approximately 21%. It is the aggregation of salivary tissue anterior to and anatomically separated from main parotid gland which is located adjacent to the parotid duct. Tumours arising from accessory parotid gland are extremely rare with reported incidents of 1 to 7.7% of all parotid gland tumours. This article illustrates a case of 35-year-old male patient with swelling in the right cheek region since 4 years.
