Salivary duct carcinoma is a distinctive primary neoplasm of the major salivary gland characterized by aggressive behavior with early metastasis, local recurrence and significant mortality. We report a 40 year old male with parotid swelling diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma, who underwent parotidectomy with modified radical neck dissection and later, on routine histopathology, the swelling was reported as a salivary duct carcinoma, confirmed via immunohistochemistery. Given the relative low occurrence and known difficulty in making an accurate diagnosis using fine needle aspiration cytology, the possibility of salivary duct carcinoma in the appropriate clinical setting of elderly patients with parotid mass and facial palsy should be seriously considered.
