Sumario:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a slowly progressing malignant tumor of the salivary glands that mostly affects minor salivary glands. ACC of parotid gland is exceptionally rare. In this article, we aimed to provide a case report of parotid gland ACC in a 55-year-old female that was misdiagnosed as benign mixed tumor. The patient was successfully treated by surgery without any complications. We recommend that ACC of parotid gland should be considered in differential diagnosis of benign mixed tumor since there still existed overlapped imaging characteristics.
