Oncocytic papillary cystadenomas (OPC) of the head and neck are rare tumors. They have been reported in accessory tear glands, minor salivary glands of buccal mucosa, soft palate and lip, nasopharynx, larynx, and infrequently in parotid glands. The lesion tends to occur more frequently in women; most patients are older then 50 years of age. The usual presentation is an asymptomatic mass present for several years before diagnosis.3 The biological behavior of this tumor is similar to that of Warthin's tumor. Recurrences are unusual and probably represent mutifocality. The cytological features of this lesion have not been well documented in literature, and histopathology is mandatory to arrive at a final diag-nosis
