Body was changed:

Intra-parotid nodal metastases refer to metastatic involvement of intraparotid lymph nodes from either a primary parotid tumour or an extra-parotid tumour in the head an neck (e.g. nasopharyngeal carcinoma)

Location

There may be a predilection towards the superficial lobe or tail region3

Prognostic significance

The

  • the presence of intra-parotid metastatic nodal involvement in those with a known head and neck skin squamous cell carcinoma could imply occult cervical nodal involvement 2.
  • the presence of intra-parotid metastatic nodal involvement in those with a known primary parotid cancer can be strongly associated with a worse disease-specific survival and a higher risk of locoregional recurrence 4.
