[Mucoepidermoid carcinoma appearing synchronously in the lacrimal and salivary glands].
An 86-year-old woman consulted for a swelling on the palpebral side of the upper eyelid that she had discovered 4 months earlier. Physical examination also revealed a parotid nodule on the same side. Clinical and radiological findings were in favor of a malignant lacrimal tumor. The parotid localization would correspond to either a lymph node metastasis or an intraparotid metastasis or to a primary parotid tumor with salivary metastasis; We discuss these hypotheses in light of the epidemiology, history and clinical and pathology findings.
