Clinical examination showed enlargement of the left parotid gland, with cervical lymphadenopathy. No skin lesions were found. A resection of the gland was performed. Pathological findings were consistent with primary sebaceous carcinoma of the parotid gland. CONCLUSION: Sebaceous carcinoma of the parotid gland is extremely uncommon.
