title: Salivary duct carcinoma of the parotid gland metastasizing to the skin: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Salivary duct carcinomas of parotid gland are rare, as are the skin metastases from them. Four cases are reported with metastases to the skin. We present an additional case, with subcutaneous metastases of the back and leg. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature in which the nodule on an extremity was the metastasis of a salivary duct carcinoma of parotid gland.
