Abstract
Metastasis to intra-parotid nodes is commonly seen from cutaneous malignancies of the head and neck region, but the nodal metastasis from primaries of the upper aero-digestive tract squamous cell carcinoma, though less common, is a known clinical entity. Intra-parotid nodal metastasis from the latter clinical condition is common when nodal disease is seen in other nodal levels in the neck. It may also develop as a delayed nodal metastasis on the ipsilateral side later during the follow up after completing treatment. Delayed nodal metastasis to the contralateral intra-parotid node though possible, has not been reported till date; in this article we present one such case.
