First Case

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) comprises a small proportion of salivary gland tumors; however, it is known to be aggressive with a high rate of metastasis. Although frequent references are made to pulmonary dissemination, metastases in the pleural fluid have not been described. In this article, we report the cytologic features of metastatic SDC in the pleural fluid. The clinical history, cytomorphology and immunohistochemical features used for diagnosis are described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of pleural fluid involvement by salivary duct carcinoma reported in the literature.

Parotid Swelling

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.
