摘要
Introduction: Involvement of parotid gland by metastases from distant primary malignant tumors is rare. Case report: A 42-year-old female having right breast cancer had reported to the Department of Oral Diagnosis and Medicine with a chief complaint of a swelling in the left parotid gland region for 2 months. On the basis of clinical findings, the primary malignancy of parotid gland was provisionally suspected. Discussion: Microscopic examination of parotid and breast revealed that parotid gland was involved as a distant metastases from a breast carcinoma, indicating that a swelling in the parotid needs to be assessed and investigated very carefully. © pringer-Verlag 2009.
