Chronic sclerosing sialadenitis (CSS) (Kuttner's tumor) is a benign fibroinflammatory condition most commonly affecting the submandibular gland. It presents as hard mass that mimics salivary gland neoplasms. We report an unusual presentation of Kuttner's tumor affecting the parotid gland in order to raise the awareness of this rare and underreported entity.
