Abstract
Undifferentiated carcinoma of the parotid gland is a relatively rare malignant tumor. A 65-year-old male was referred to our hospital with a mass in the left parotid region and the left upper neck. The superficial lobe of the left parotid gland was resected and modified neck dissection was performed on clinical suspicion of malignancy. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of undifferentiated carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastasis.Postoperative radiation therapy was performed immediately, but lymph node metastasis on the left side of the neck was detected 2 months later. The patient then underwent additional radiation therapy and chemotherapy (CBDCA+PEP). One year later, regional lymph node recurrence was confirmed, and additional chemotherapy (CDDP+THP-ADM+PEP) was administered. There has been no evidence of recurrence since the last treatment.
