A Giant Undifferentiated Sarcoma of Parotid Gland: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

ABSTRACT Malignant spindle cell tumors of the parotid gland are a diagnostic challenge. The clinical and histologic assessments were consistent with a primary sarcoma of the parotid gland. In this article, we present a case of 79-year female with huge right parotid swelling which came out to be an undifferentiated sarcoma on histological examination only. The huge size of the lesion, rarity and less number of reported cases on undifferentiated sarcoma prompted us to report the particular case. The major differential diagnostic considerations were malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, spindle cell carcinoma, carcinosarcoma and primary undifferentiated sarcoma of the parotid gland.
