  • Title: Metastasis of amelanotic melanoma of unknown origin in the parotid gland.
    Author: Mesa M, Quesada JL, Piñas J.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2009 Oct; 47(7):569-71. PubMed ID: 19167137.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of metastasis of an amelanotic melanoma of the parotid gland. To our knowledge this is the first report of a metastasis of an amelanotic melanoma in a parotid lymph node. Superficial parotidectomy with no other complementary treatment controlled the tumour. Progress has been excellent and the patient was well at six years' follow-up.
