Parotid gland metastasis in lung cancer is extremely rare, very few cases have been reported.
We report on the case of a 61-year-old Chinese male patient who presented with parotid swelling metastasizing from advanced lung cancer. We therefore performed an operation of partial parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve and advised the patient receive chemotherapy, however, the patient died four months later.
Although it is extremely rare, a potential metastasis of lung cancer should not be ignored in the diagnosis of parotid tumor. Preoperative routine examination, such as a chest X-ray and lung computational tomography scan, may play an important role in differential diagnosis. The management of the metastatic tumor to the parotid gland was controversial however, despite combined treatment modalities, long-term survival was not attained.
肺癌发生腮腺转移极为罕见，仅有少数病例报道。
我们报告一例61岁中国男性患者，因晚期肺癌发生腮腺转移而出现腮腺肿大。因此，我们为其实施了保留面神经的腮腺部分切除术，并建议患者接受化疗，然而，患者在四个月后死亡。
尽管极为罕见，但在腮腺肿瘤诊断中，肺癌潜在转移不应被忽视。术前常规检查，如胸部X线和肺部计算机断层扫描，在鉴别诊断中可能起重要作用。腮腺转移瘤的治疗存在争议，尽管采用了综合治疗方式，但仍未实现长期生存。
