Abstract

We report a rare presentation of Oncocytoma of the submandibular salivary gland in an young adolescent female who presented with progressive swelling in the left submandibular region since childhood with pain for the past one month. Fine needle aspiration revealed Oncocytoma for which a conventional submandibular excision was done. There are few articles about the rare presentation of submandibular Oncocytoma and literature favors older population for this rarity. This case was unique because of its presentation in a young individual and there were no supporting published articles available till date.
