Abstract
Crystalline structure in salivary gland lesions is a rare occurrence. Amylase crystalloids are a type of crystalline structure observed in salivary gland lesions. We report a case of a 67 year old male with detection of amylase crystalloids in the parotid gland. Since amylase crystalloids are not found in malignant conditions, their occurrence indicates a benign entity.
