Professional Med J Jan ;23(09):1163-6.

Salivary Duct Carcinoma is a rare but highly aggressive tumor of the parotid gland. This tumor histologically shares the features of invasive duct cell carcinoma of breast. Here we present a case of such an advanced T4aN2M0 tumor involving overlying skin and level I and II lymph nodes which was managed by radical conservative parotidectomy followed by free radial forearm flap. Patient postoperatively received chemo radiation and is recurrence free over a period of two years. We also give a brief account of literature review regarding Salivary Duct Carcinoma and its management.
