Parotid gland squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. Aural polyps are usually the presenting features of chronic suppurative otitis media, tuberculous otitis media, and adenoma or carcinoma. The malignant aural polyp is very rare. Parotid gland carcinoma masquerading as an aural polyp has rarely been described in the literature.
We report a case study of parotid squamous cell carcinoma in a 29-year-old male masquerading as an ear polyp.
Parotid gland primary squamous cell carcinoma is a rapidly advancing neoplasm which carries poor prognosis despite multimodality treatment. Diligent clinical and histopathological evaluation is imperative to discriminate this rare aggressive disease from the metastatic and other primary cancers of the parotid. A high index of suspicion is crucial in refractory aural polyps to arrive at early diagnosis.
腮腺鳞状细胞癌是一种罕见的侵袭性肿瘤,预后较差。耳息肉通常是慢性化脓性中耳炎、结核性中耳炎以及腺瘤或癌的表现特征。恶性耳息肉非常罕见。文献中很少描述伪装成耳息肉的腮腺癌。
我们报告一例29岁男性腮腺鳞状细胞癌伪装成耳息肉的病例研究。
腮腺原发性鳞状细胞癌是一种进展迅速的肿瘤,尽管采用多模式治疗,预后仍较差。必须进行细致的临床和组织病理学评估,以将这种罕见的侵袭性疾病与腮腺转移性癌和其他原发性癌区分开来。对于难治性耳息肉,高度怀疑至关重要,以便早期诊断。
