ABSTRACT

Salivary gland small cell carcinomas (SmCC) are extremely rare and metastasis from lung only being reported in select case studies. This is a case of parotid gland SmCC and lung SmCC. The pulmonary mass may represent metastasis from the parotid tumor. However, a new lung primary could not be excluded. A synchronous primary lung SmCC appears to be more likely.
