Parotid Gland Adenocarcinoma: A Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Adenocarcinoma no otherwise specified (NOS) and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA), are malignant tumors of the salivary glands. Both types of malignant tumors have the potential for recurrence and distant metastases. Rare cases of recurrence and metastases lead to the absence of standardized systemic therapy for salivary gland cancer. This case report aims to expand the literature regarding recurrence and distant metastases of parotid gland adenocarcinoma. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who complained of a recurrent lump in the right mandibular area who had previously undergone chemoradiotherapy, right parothyrodectomy, and left mastectomy. Histopathological examination of the biopsies that were performed gave different results, namely adenocarcinoma and PLGA.
