case_images: (a) Intraoral preoperative clinical picture showing swelling involving the right side of the hard palate with normal overlying mucosa. (b) Unencapsulated tumour showing sheets of mucous and intermediate cells along with cystic areas of variable sizes and shapes (hematoxylin-eosin, Total magnification x100). (c and d) The cystic spaces were lined by oncocytic cells showing abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm with central dark round nuclei (black arrow). Inset in c and d shows a higher magnified view of the cells from the select areas. (hematoxylin-eosin; total magnification x400)

case_images: The swelling was 1 x 1.2 cm2 in size and soft to firm consistency [Figure 1a]. The lesional tissue showed the presence of sheets of mucous and intermediate cells along with cystic areas of variable sizes and shapes [Figure 1b]. On high power magnification, oncocytes showed abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm with central dark round nuclei [Figure 1c and d].
