Abstract
A unique extraskeletal chondroma is reported which occupied the entire right parotid gland of a 32-year old man. The midsized tumour was har d and well circumscribed. Its histological pattern was typical of a ch ondroma with lobules of hyaline cartilage and several areas of calcifi cation. The chondrocytes were positive for S-100 protein and negative for smooth muscle and myoepithelial markers. Epithelial neoplastic ele ments, as found in pleomorphic adenomas, were not detected in the pres ent case, neither morphologically nor immunohistochemically.
