| Abstract: | SUMMARY: BACKGROUND: Metastases to the parotid and thyroid glands from breast cancer are rare and have a poor prognosis. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient with breast carcinoma and synchronous involvement of both the parotid and thyroid gland, and review the literature on this subject. CONCLUSION: Metastatic malignancy in clinically suspect thyroid and parotid nodules could be detected more frequently with routine use of fine needle aspiration biopsy. |
