Hepatic resection for metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland

Indian J Gastroenterol. 2005 Jan-Feb;24(1):29-30.

Abstract

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is the commonest malignant tumor of the submandibular and minor salivary glands; the parotid gland constitutes a small share of this neoplasm. We present a 30-year-old woman with solitary liver metastasis from an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland, which had been surgically treated 10 years ago. The patient underwent successful resection of this metastasis.
