Secondary carcinoma of kidney from parotid gland tumor.
Secondary tumors of the kidney are rarely diagnosed during life. However they should be suspected in a patient with a primary malignancy of nonrenal origin and a renal mass. A case of parotid cancer metastatic to the kidney is presented. This case is unique because of its rarity, clinical presentation, and pathologic findings.
