Salivary duct carcinoma: immunohistochemical profile of an aggressive salivary gland tumour
Journal Title: Clinical Molecular Pathology - Year 2003, Vol 56, Issue 12
Abstract
The patients comprised four men and one woman, with ages ranging from 50 to 67 years (median, 58.5). All tumours were located in the parotid gland. Two patients presented regional lymph node metastases at the time of diagnosis. Four patients presented facial paralysis, one with regional lymph node metastasis. There was no evidence of metastasis in three patients. The patients were initially treated with total parotidectomy. Adjuvant treatment such as neck dissection, radiotherapy, and, in some cases, chemotherapy had no effect on the outcome. Three patients underwent radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy, and one received only chemotherapy. Tumour sizes varied from 3.0 cm to 8.0 cm (median, 5.5). The outcome varied from seven months to 10 years (table 2​2 ).
