INTRODUCTION
We reported congenital mature cystic teratoma of parotid that presented as a swelling in the left parotid gland region since birth, increasing in size gradually. Teratoma is common neoplasm, but is very rarely found in parotid gland. Thus teratoma should be kept in mind while evaluating a case of a soft tissue mass of parotid area and malignancy should be ruled out.
