    Area of Science:

    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Differential diagnosis of preauricular and retromandibular masses includes primary parotid tumors and other lesions.
    • Intraparotid lymph nodes with inflammatory or neoplastic disease are often misdiagnosed as parotid tumors.

    Observation:

    • Presents 12 patients with isolated metastases to parotid lymph nodes.
    • Nine patients had primary tumors in the local lymphatic drainage; three had metastases from unknown or distant sites.
    • Majority of metastatic tumors originated from cutaneous sites, including squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, and melanomas.

    Findings:

    • Metastatic tumors to parotid lymph nodes are unusual but clinically significant.
    • Common primary tumor types include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and melanoma.

  • Treatment involves surgical resection and potentially adjuvant radiotherapy.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of parotid masses requires consideration of metastatic disease.
    • Management strategies for parotid metastases should be tailored to the primary tumor and extent of disease.
    • Facial nerve management in these cases should align with principles for primary parotid tumors.
