Abstract：We report one case of mature cystic teratoma that presented as a tender, well-defined round mass in the right parotid gland region. Teratomas are common neoplasms but are very rarely found in the parotid gland region, so diagnosis and treatment when such occurs is a challenge. Magnetic resonance imaging scanning is useful in determining the nature of teratomas, and only surgery and pathology can provide a final diagnosis. The treatment strategy is to preserve both the facial nerve and the surrounding parotid gland tissue, while completely extirpating the teratoma.
