In the English literature, less than 10 cases have been reported. Sebaceous adenoma represents 0.5% of all monomorphic adenomas. The authors are presenting a case of sebaceous adenoma of the parotid gland in a 65-year-old female who presented a mass on the left parotid area that had been gradually enlarging for one year without symptoms of pain. On imaging (ultrasound), a well-defined mass lesion in the left parotid area was seen. Histopathological findings were consistent with sebaceous adenoma. Surgical excision is curative. The prognosis is excellent, with a low recurrence rate. The present case report will increase the awareness and possibility of this rare tumor occurring at an unusual site, thereby avoiding any chance of misdiagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12051232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,14]],"date-time":"2022-05-14T09:27:56Z","timestamp":1652520476000},"page":"1232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["An Extremely Rare Case of Sebaceous Adenoma Involving the Parotid Gland"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Octavian Marius","family":"Dinc\u0103","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, 37 Dionisie Lupu, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mihai Bogdan","family":"Bucur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dentimplant Platinum Aesthetics, 39 Mihail Kogalniceanu, 050103 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8737-0973","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George Cristian","family":"Vl\u0103dan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, 37 Dionisie Lupu, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8342-9819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valentin Nicolae","family":"Varlas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, 37 Dionisie Lupu, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandru","family":"Bucur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, 37 Dionisie Lupu, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-012-0343-x","article-title":"My Journey into the World of Salivary Gland Sebaceous Neoplasms","volume":"6","author":"Gnepp","year":"2012","journal-title":"Head Neck Pathol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.5935\/0004-2749.20160071","article-title":"A Unique Case of Isolated Sebaceous Adenoma of the Bulbar Conjunctiva","volume":"79","author":"Ilhan","year":"2016","journal-title":"Arq.
