Majority of the tumour of parotid gland is benign in nature. Neurogenic origin of tumor is a rare entity. If it occurs, the tumour usually arises from the main trunk. A well encapsulated mass originated deep to the deep lobe of parotid may manifest itself like a typical pleomorphic adenoma. We reported a case of middle-aged man with infratemporal neurofibroma presenting with asymptomatic parotid mass.
