Abstract
Among acquired cysts of the parotid gland, retention cysts are the most frequent. They may be the presenting symptom in patients with occult cancer of the parotid. In this case report, a mucoepidermoid carcinoma played a significant role in the obstruction of a salivary gland duct and caused a parotid retention cyst. Thus, a wide excision of the parotid retention cyst is necessary, as is a careful review of the histology searching for malignant lesion.
