Salivary duct carcinoma is a high-grade adenocarcinoma arising from the ductal epithelium and has very low prevalence. We report a case of salivary duct carcinoma in high risk group with satisfactory result. A 65-year-old male was referred to our clinic complaining of mass on Rt. cheek. Preoperative CT and MRI shows 2.01.9cm sized multilobulated, cystic mass on the superficial lobe of Rt. parotid gland and multiple lymph node enlargement thorough the Rt. internal jugular chain. Total parotidectomy and modified radical neck dissection with adjuvant radiation therapy was performed. Pathologic result was salivary duct carcinoma and resection margin was free. Postoperative radiation therapy with 6400cGy(200cGy 12 fx) was performed. During the 24-months of follow up periods, recurrence or complications associated with operation and radiation therapy was not observed. Salivary duct carcinoma is rare disease with very poor prognosis. Lymph node metastasis is commonly accompanied at the time of diagnosis. Distant metastasis is the most common cause of death. Total parotidectomy, radical neck disssection and adjuvant radiation therapy can be the appropriate modality for the control of the salivary duct carcinoma especially in high risk group.
