case_images: Ultrasonography showed a well-defined, homogenic, round, and hypodense mass with a measured diameter of 2.5 cm (Figure 1).
case_images: (a) Coronal MRI scan showing a signal enrichment in T2 weighting in the left parotid gland. (b) T1 weighted axial MRI scan showing a hypointensity of the same structure.

case_images: An MRI allowed a better preoperative evaluation referring to anatomy and dignity (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)). It showed a signal enrichment in T2 weighting (Figure 2(a)) and an intermediate signal in T1 (Figure 2(b)).
case_images: The intraoperative impression suggested a benign lesion with a tight capsule without abnormal vascularization.

case_images: Intraoperatively, the tumor had a tight capsule without abnormal vascularization (Figure 3) and it was removed with parts of the adjacent parotid tissue.
case_images: Dermoid cyst with stratified epithelium with associated skin appendages like keratin lamellae and sebaceous glands (haematoxylin and eosin staining).
