Multiple tumors of a single salivary gland in an unoperated‐on patient are rare; only five have previously been reported in the world literature. The author reports the sixth case of multiple, benign mixed tumors of a unilateral parotid gland in a 61‐year‐old woman, discusses its management, and reviews the literature.
