Abstract
Fibrous histiocytomas are not uncommonly found in the head and neck region. These tumors, arising from the tissue histiocyte, generally behave in a benign fashion. An unusual case of a fibrous histiocytoma arising in the parotid gland is presented. The histopathology of these lesions as well as parotid neoplasms in children is reviewed. Wide local excision without sacrifice of important structures is the treatment of choice.Keywords
