  • Title: Carcinoma of the prostate presenting as a painful parotid mass with mandibular invasion: a case report.
    Author: Head CS, Hematpour K, Sercarz J, Luu Q, Bennett CJ.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2009 Dec; 88(12):E7-8. PubMed ID: 20013668.
    Abstract:
    Prostate cancer metastatic to the parotid gland is exceedingly rare, as only 10 cases have been previously reported in the literature. Symptoms may mimic a parotid infection or suggest a primary parotid tumor. We report a new case of carcinoma of the prostate metastatic to the parotid. The tumor was painful and had invaded the mandible. Fine-needle aspiration of the mass and immunohistochemical staining for prostate-specific antigen confirmed the diagnosis. The patient died 1 month later of an unrelated cause.
