Abstract
Metastasis of prostate cancer to the parotid gland is exceedingly rare , with only 4 cases reported in the literature. We present the case of an 85-year-old white man who had a painless parotid mass that was dia gnosed as metastatic prostate cancer. Immunohistochemical staining wit h prostate-specific antigen was positive. This is the first case of pr ostate cancer presenting with a painless parotid mass. Prostate cancer can be metastatic to the head and neck region, and this should be kep t in mind when treating patients with this disease. UROLOGY(R).
