Abstract
Acinic cell carcinoma of parotid gland as cause of distant metastases are rare. The patient was a 60-year-old woman who had in 1993 a acinic cell carcinoma of right parotid gland. Tumour can be resected through total parotidectomy with facial nerve anastomosis and modified radical neck dissection (T (3) N (2b) M (0)). Since the operation the patient has remained symptom-free without any sign of tumour recurrence. After 12 years the patient noted swelling in the region of sternum and biopsy was necessary. Histologically and immunohistochemically the diagnosis of distant metastase on acinic carcinoma of the parotid gland was confirmed.
