Abstract
We report a rare case of salivary duct carcinoma and we study its clinical and evolutionary features. A 64-year-old patient was referred for right peripheral facial paralysis. MRI showed suspected formation of the right parotid gland. Treatment included total parotidectomy and ipsilateral neck lymph node dissection. The histology concluded to a ductal carcinoma of the parotid with lymph node metastasis. Radiation therapy has been indicated. Salivary duct carcinoma of the parotid gland is a highly aggressive and uncommon tumor. Treatment of localized forms is based on surgery and radiotherapy.
