Abstract

Gliomas are by far the most common primary central nervous system tumours. So far, the most gliomas were reported to derive from CNS and located in cranium. Here we describe a rare case of glioma located in the parotid gland. The possible mechanisms of this tumor and its diagnostic investigation are discussed in the literature.

Keywords: Glioma, parotid gland, nervous system.
