Abstract
Salivary gland canalicular adenoma is rare yet benign. It accounts for fewer than 1% of salivary tumors and is the third most common non-cancerous mass in the small salivary glands. A 45-year-old presented to the outpatient department with complaints of swelling in the left parotid region for the past 3 years. Examination revealed a firm swelling in the left parotid region. USG and MRI revealed features suggestive of pleomorphic adenoma. Superficial parotidectomy was planned but intra-operatively, the mass was seen between the two lobes of the parotid, which was removed, and on histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as canalicular adenoma. Post-operatively, the patient's condition is excellent.
