She had a regional metastasis to the axillary area, and a distant metastasis to the right parotid gland and the left surrenal gland at the time of diagnosis. Right radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were performed after six cures of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,. Then, she underwent a resection of deep parotid lobe and tumoral mass, which was followed by surrenal gland excision. She is now 12 months beyond her surgery and completely free of disease.Conclution: We consider that with the increased number of parotidectomy for metastatic breast cancer, more dependable knowledge will be obtained in the future.
