A case report of seeding of parotid carcinoma along a core biopsy needle tract is presented. Excision of the needle biopsy site at the time of definitive surgery is recommended. Aspiration needle biopsy with a fine needle is reliable, with tumor seeding less likely.

Resident stem/progenitor cells within the secretory salivary glands offer a potential therapeutic resource for use in the regeneration of salivary glands needed to restore saliva production in patients with chronic xerostomia, or dry mouth. Methods were developed previously to isolate human stem/progenitor cells (hS/PCs) from major salivary glands (parotid/submandibular). Abundant minor salivary glands located in readily accessible locations in the oral cavity and lip could provide an additional valuable therapeutic resource.

Retinoblastoma, the most common primary intraocular malignant neoplasm in young children, show frequent metastasis to lymph nodes, central nervous system and bones. However, retinoblastoma metastasizing to parotid gland is very rare. We here present 2 cases of isolated parotid gland metastasis in two children with unilateral retinoblastoma.

We present a unique case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid in an 18-year-old patient with associated tumour seeding within the core needle biopsy tract. Tumour seeding was confirmed both histologically and radiologically on magnetic resonance imaging as early as 35 days post-biopsy.

Background: Salivary gland malignancies are rare neoplasms of the head and neck area. Preoperative clinical and imaging assessment of salivary gland masses is challenging. However, preoperative identification of malignancy is crucial for further treatment and for the course of the disease.

Objective: Accurate diagnosis of parotid neoplasia is a key to determine the most appropriate patient management choice, including the need for surgery. This review provides an update of the literature on current practice and outcomes of parotid tissue sampling techniques, with an emphasis on ultrasound-guided core biopsy (USCB) and comparison with fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
Methods: A literature review of EMBASE, Medline, PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted.
