Ann Plast Surg. 1992 Feb;28(2):183-6. doi: 10.1097/00000637-199202000-00010.

Abstract

In this study, we report a recent patient with a giant cell tumor located in the parotid gland. This condition appears to be very rare; there have been only a few reports of similar patients. The origin of the tumor has remained unclear in previous patients, as well as in our present patient, and awaits further investigation.
