This cytology report highlights a case of rhinosporidiosis of the parotid duct cyst not associated with nasal manifestations. In an endemic area, one should be familiar with its morphologic features in fine‐needle aspiration cytology even on scanty material, for it could be one of the investigations in the initial workup of a case.
