CASE REPORT: A RARE CASE OF PRIMARY PAROTID GLAND SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Dr Vasim Mulla, Dr Shivaprasad B. Kadole

Abstract


Parotid gland Squamous cell carcinoma is very tumour with incidence of 0.3% to 1.5%. Proper examination and investigation are needed to diagnose this tumour. Here we reported a case of primary parotid squamous cell carcinoma in a 75 years male. Preoperatively fine needle cytology suggestive of keratin cyst or well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Operated with superficial parotidectomy. Histopathology suggestive of primary parotid squamous cell carcinoma. It’s very aggressive type of tumour, so it needs adequate approach with multimodality treatment methods.
