Abstract

Background/aim: The parotid is the largest salivary gland and is located anteriorly to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and laterally to the ramus of the mandible. Neoplasms in this gland are relatively rare, with 80% being benign and 20% malignant, primarily represented by mucoepidermoid carcinoma. In the head and neck region, lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) accounts for 0.4% of malignant salivary gland tumors.

Case report: A 35-year-old man with no previous comorbidities was admitted to a Head and Neck Surgery Specialty Service for a painless right cervical mass of uncertain growth. Extensive diagnostic investigation revealed involvement of the contralateral parotid, associated with systemic lymph node enlargement. Thus, adjuvant radiotherapy was decided by the treating team.

Conclusion: This case confirms the heterogeneous features and distinctive behavior that the disease can present, as seen with bilateral parotid LEC.

首例双侧腮腺淋巴上皮癌病例报告

背景/目的：腮腺是最大的唾液腺，位于胸锁乳突肌的前方和下颌骨横突的侧面。该腺体的肿瘤相对罕见，80%为良性，20%为恶性，主要是粘液表皮样癌。在头颈部地区，淋巴上皮癌（LEC）占恶性唾液腺肿瘤的 0.4%：病例报告：一名 35 岁的男性因右侧颈部生长不确定的无痛性肿块入住头颈外科专科。广泛的诊断检查发现对侧腮腺受累，并伴有全身淋巴结肿大。因此，治疗小组决定进行辅助放疗：本病例证实了双侧腮腺 LEC 可表现出的异质性特征和独特行为。
