title: [Metastatic carcinoma of the parotid gland. Review of the literature. Report of two cases].
abstract: The great majority of parotid gland tumours are benign. Metastatic malignant ones are scarce in number. The source of these metastasis are growths localized either in head and neck or distant tumours spreading on intra- or periparotid lymph nodes. Two cases of metastatic parotid growths diagnosed and treated last year are reported. Bibliographic review of the topic.
