Canalicular Adenoma (CA) is an uncommon, benign salivary gland tumor that was described by the World Health Organization classification in 1991. CA has a significant predilection for occurrence in the minor salivary glands, with most cases occurring in the upper lip, followed by the buccal mucosa and palate. Rarely, CA can involve the major salivary glands, for example the parotid gland. A small number of cases of CA of the parotid gland have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of CA on the left parotid gland of an 81-year-old man with review of literature.
