Abstract:
Metastases to the parotid gland generally arise from malignant tumours of the head and neck. Lung cancers with parotid metastasis represent a relatively rare situation, the percentage of which is still unknown. We report a case of a 55-year-old chronic smoker who presented with a right parotid mass revealing a primary bronchial adenocarcinoma.
