  • Title: [The parotid gland as target organ of regional and distant metastases (authors' transl)].
    Author: Vollrath M, Droese M, Hinney B.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1981 Jan; 60(1):39-41. PubMed ID: 7218982.
    Abstract:
    The lymph nodes of the parotid gland get their tributary lymph vessels from the skin of the face, the scalp and the anterior face of the concha. Therefore malignant skin tumours--the majority of them are melanomas and squamous cell carcinomas--may lead to parotid metastases. In comparison to these regional metastases, parotid metastases of distant tumors are extremely rare. The paper describes for the first time a parotid metastases of an uterus sarcoma.
