Abstract
Carcinoma of a major salivary duct is very rare and is highly malignant. Originally reported in 1968 by Kleinsasser, its histological features are cribriform and papillary patterns together with comedonecrosis, resemblling duct carcinoma of the breast.
Recently we treated a 66-year-old male who complained of right facial nerve palsy. A CT scan of the neck showed a tumor with a diameter of 2 cm in the right parotid gland. Right total parotidectomy was performed, and salivary duct carcinoma was diagnosed.
