Polycystic (dysgenetic) parotid disease is a benign cystic condition of parotid gland arising from distal ductal system, commonly involving the parotid gland. It is commonly seen in females and is seen mostly involving the parotid gland bilaterally. Clinically it manifests as a slowly progressive, non tender fluctuant swelling of parotid gland with no defects in the salivary gland function. Here we report a rare case of polycystic parotid disease diagnosed in an 83 year old male patient.
