Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors that occur in the salivary glands. While several cases of distant metastasis have been reported, instances of metastasis to the skin are rare. We present the case of a 72-year-old man diagnosed with parotid mucoepidermoid carcinoma who experienced temporary remission following surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. However, the carcinoma recurred along the skin at the periauricular area along the mask line. Given the current prevalence of COVID-19, the practice of wearing masks has become more widespread. This case report highlights the recurrence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma along the mask strap line, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing it from benign dermatological conditions.
