Core Tip

Core Tip: We present a case of sebaceous lymphadenocarcinoma in the parotid gland of an elderly woman, with metastases to the periparotid lymph nodes. Because these tumors are so rare, we conducted a literature review of sebaceous lymphadenocarcinoma, which revealed that our case is only the seventh reported case of sebaceous lymphadenocarcinoma and the second with cervical lymph node metastasis and infiltration of the skin of the parotid gland. We believe that because these tumors are rare, our case report will add valuable information to the growing reports of their occurrence.
