Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is the third most common malignancy to metastasize to the head and neck region. Among them, parotid is a well-reported site, although limited to case reports. Tumours with predominance of clear cells found in the head and neck, namely oncocytoma, clear cell carcinoma, acinic cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma should be distinguished from clear cell renal cell carcinoma. This case report is regarding a patient with renal cell carcinoma presenting as bulky parotid metastasis. This literature review is to reiterate the possibility of renal cell carcinoma with parotid metastasis, as to aid in good science and better practice.
