Salivary gland tumors are rare head and neck tumors. The majority of these tumors are benign and include pleomorphic adenoma, monomorphic adenoma, oncocytoma, and papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum. Oncocytoma is a rare benign salivary gland tumor. In this article, we report a 69-year-old female case of oncocytoma of the right parotid gland in whom fine needle aspiration cytology result was reported as a Warthin’s tumor.
