title: [Small cell carcinoma of the parotid gland. A case report].
abstract: A case of small-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the parotid gland in an 82-year-old woman is reported. SCC arising in major salivary glands are extremely rare. By immunohistochemical study, this case was classified as a small-cell carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation. These neoplasms seem to have a far better prognosis than those arising from the bronchial tree. Treatment is mainly local and regional surgery with complementary radiotherapy.
