  • Title: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma presenting as a parotid tumor.
    Author: Seijas BP, Franco FL, Sastre RM, García AA, López-Cedrún Cembranos JL.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 2005 May; 99(5):554-7. PubMed ID: 15829877.
    Abstract:
    Metastases of malignancies to the parotid region are relatively infrequent (21%-42% of all malignant tumors 1 ), but metastases of infraclavicular origin are infrequent (0.16%-4% 1,2 ). From 1986 to 1998, only 17 cases of parotid metastases of renal clear cell carcinoma were documented in the literature reviewed. In this paper we report a case of a patient with a parotid tumor which was the first manifestation of distant disease. It was only once the tumor was surgically removed that the histopathology allowed the diagnosis of the primary tumor; namely a renal clear cell adenocarcinoma.
