Description

A 62-year-old man underwent FDG PET/CT to determine the initial stage of gastric carcinoma, and the scan revealed an incidental FDG-avid mass in the left parotid gland. He subsequently underwent surgery, and the final diagnosis was of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma with cervical lymph node metastasis. The patient underwent left total parotidectomy with left selective neck dissection 2 months later, and the histopathologic report confirmed carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma with cervical lymph node metastasis.
