Abstract

Salivary duct carcinomas are rare tumors known for their predominant location in the parotid gland, its aggressive behavior and high rate of recurrence. It resembles pathologically and immunophenotypically to high-grade ductal breast adenocarcinoma. This report presents an additional case of cutaneous metastasis from a salivary duct carcinoma of parotid gland. We have found thirteen more cases in the literature and we have noticed that every case follow a different treatment scheme. The limited number of cases reported in the literature make difficult to design a treatment protocol. However, new emerging clinical studies are comparing gene and protein expression levels between salivary duct carcinoma and breast carcinoma to identify future targeted therapy.
