Metastatic tumours of the parotid region
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
Metastatic disease in the parotid gland and its associated lymph nodes is generally thought to be uncommon. A review of 121 cases was undertaken to study the incidence, histology and prognosis of secondary malignancy in the parotid region. Forty-two per cent of the cases were secondary malignancies. The majority of these were squamous cell carcinoma, and in this group the prognosis was poor.
