Introduction: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is very rare, only 1-3% of all salivary gland tumors are reported as SDC. SDC predominantly occurs in elderly males, SCD is characterized by an aggressive clinical course of the disease with less than 60% five years survival from the day of initial diagnosis, lymph node metastasis and facial nerve involvement is common, the current literature lacks protocol regarding management of this entity and the advantage of adjuvant therapy has not been evaluated due to its rare occurrence.
Presentation Of Case: We report patient with stage IV HER2/neu negative SDC successfully treated with surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, patient is followed up for 40 months without evidence of recurrence or metastasis.
