Salivary Duct Carcinoma with Late Distant Brain and Cutaneous Metastasis: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
with poor prognosis, rapid growth, distant metastasis, early regional metastasis, and a high rate of recurrence. The parotid gland is the most common site of involvement, and the lungs and the bones are the most common sites of distant metastasis of SDC. Herein, we present a case of SDC of the parotid gland in a 62-year-old male patient with an unusual metastasis to the skin of the primary site and brain 6 years after primary treatment, which comprised of total parotidectomy and radical neck dissection followed by radiotherapy. It is noteworthy that in few cases of SDC with infiltration, (and not in low-grade intraductal carcinoma of the salivary glands), routine treatment may not suffice, and long-term follow-up is highly recommended.

Case Report Breast metastasis of salivary duct carcinoma in a patient: a case report
Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and highly aggressive cancer with a worse prognosis that has been demonstrated to exhibit invasive growth with early regional and distant metastasis. Breast metastasis of salivary duct carcinoma rarely occurs. Here, we reported a case of submandibular gland SDC metastasis to breast in a 64-year-old female patient who underwent a complete removal of a righ...

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common kidney tumor in adults. Cutaneous metastasis is a rare first symptom of the disease. This paper describes the diagnosis of a renal cell carcinoma that was indicated by cutaneous metastasis in the head and neck region, and considers the etiopathogenesis of such cases. A careful skin examination is important to detect cutaneous metastasis associated with re...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a distinctive and aggressive neoplasm. The most frequent site of origin is the parotid gland, followed by the submandibular gland. SDC originating in the minor salivary glands, particularly in the ectopic glands within the mandible, is extremely rare. We describe a 62-year-old man with SDC in the mandible, who presented with a painless lump in the right submandi...

Chordoma is a malignant, slow growing and locally aggressive tumor. It arises from remnants of the notochord and accounts for 1–4% of all primary bone tumors. They usually arise from anywhere along the spine, from base of the skull to the sacrococcygeal area and usually do not metastasize. Chordomas are slow-growing tumors which are not responsive to conventional chemotherapy or radiation. They...

Renal cell carcinoma or hypernephroma is the third most common neoplasia of the genitourinary tract. Its most common type, representing 60% of the cases, is the clear cell carcinoma, with an incidence peak between 50 and 70 years. Metastases are present at the time of diagnosis in approximately 30% of the patients, the major sites being lungs, bones, skin, liver, and brain. We report the case o...
