Objective: In primary parotid gland malignancies, the incidence of level-specific cervical lymph node metastasis in clinically node-positive necks remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the incidence of level-specific cervical node metastasis in clinically node-negative (cN0) and node-positive (cN+) patients who presented with primary parotid malignancies.
