Resumen
SANCHEZ-LEGAZA, Elena; GUERRERO-CAUQUI, Rosario y GALLEGO-GALLEGOS, Regla. Parotid metastasis of small cell lung carcinoma. Case report. Rev. ORL [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp.237-241. Epub 13-Oct-2020. ISSN 2444-7986. https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/orl.19886.
Introduction:
Parotid gland metastases are originated from primary malignant cutaneous tumors of the face and scalp in most cases. In less than 20% of metastases, they arise from primary tumors below the clavicle; in fact, small cell lung carcinoma metastases constitute 1.7% of malignant parotid tumors.
Description:
We present the case of a 52- year old who made debut with a oat cell lung cancer by means of a painful tumor parotid and facial paralysis.
Discussion:
Parotid gland metastases are the first manifestation in the 50% of the cases of a previously unknown primary tumor.
Conclusions:
It's important to performing a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) before a parotid tumor of malignant behavior, such as small cell cancer, to rule out the metastatic nature.
