        abstract = {Background: A 65-year-old male from Chawla colony Panipat presented with swelling in left side of face since two years.
Case Presentation:- A 65-year-old male presented with progressive increasing left facial swelling. According to the patient he was apparently well two years back. He started to complain in swelling in left side of face and neck for two years, which was insidious in onset and gradually progressing in size. There was no previous history of a mass in the same area or the neck. Patient came to Prem hospital where patient’s Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Computed Tonography (CT) were recommended. Computed Tonography (CT) on 29 April showed irregular mass in the parotid gland. After that, on the same day Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) from the left parotid gland was done and diagnosed as malignant tumor of parotid gland leading to surgical recommendation.
Treatment and Outcome: - A surgery named as left peritonectomy was performed on 30 April. After surgery physiotherapy management was advised from the next day.
Conclusion: - The patient journey through diagnosis, treatment and post surgical rehabilitation highlights the complexity of managing parotid carcinoma and the importance of a multi disciplinary approach, including oncological, pulmonological and physiotherapy approach. More studies are needed to understand the origin of these tumors.},
