Abstract :
Congenital unilateral agenesis of the parotid gland is a rare condition with only few cases reported in the literature. A review of
21 cases in the available literature is presented in this article. We report on a further case of a 34-year-old woman with agenesis
of the left parotid gland and lipoma of the right cheek. Clinicopathological characteristics of described cases in the literature were
discussed.
