In this brief report, we have described a rare case of schwannoma of the parotid gland in a young female who presented to us with a 3 cm diameter parotid swelling. The fine-needle aspiration cytology showed small fascicles, clusters and discrete spindle-shaped cells with long wavy nuclei. The cytological diagnosis of schwannoma of the parotid gland was offered and later confirmed by excision and histopathology.

Clear cell tumors of parotid gland encompass a wide spectrum of neoplasms, including benign and malignant epithelial neoplasms. Additionally, tumors from adjacent structures such as paraganglioma, and metastatic neoplasms may also show clear cells. Overlapping cytological features may cause difficulty in diagnosis.

Introduction: Striated duct adenoma is a benign salivary gland tumour recently recognized by the World Health Organization. To date, no report has described the cytological features of this entity.
Materials And Methods: We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with a tumour in the right parotid gland with a diameter greater than 2.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion weighted (DW) MRI can differentiate pleomorphic adenoma (PA) from schwannoma in the parapharyngeal space.
Methods: Forty-six patients with pathologically proven PAs and 47 schwannomas in the parapharyngeal space were enrolled. All patients underwent conventional MRI, and DW-MRI and DCE-MRI were performed in 30 and 33 patients, respectively.

To explore the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics, and to clarify the imaging value in the diagnosis of facial nerve schwannomas. Retrospectively analyze the data of 23 patients with facial nerve schwannomas confirmed by surgery and pathology in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University from September 2020 to September 2022, including 8 males and 15 females, aged 18-66 years old. Summarize and analyze their clinical symptoms, specialized examinations, and imaging findings.

BACKGROUND A mass in the parotid gland usually indicates parotid gland neoplasia. Warthin tumors or pleomorphic adenomas are common differential diagnoses. Less frequently, other differential diagnoses and sites of origin are considered.
