ABSTRACT
Foreign body anywhere in the body can be a diagnostic challenge to a doctor, especially if it is wooden and hardly symptomatic. A foreign body in the parotid gland, whether from the oral cavity or through the skin is extremely uncommon. We are presenting a case of a wooden foreign body in the parotid gland of a 61-year-old patient who did not want to be examined or treated initially as it was not causing him any troublesome symptoms.
