Abstract
A rare case of prostate cancer with metastasis to the parotid salivary gland is reported. The prostatic origin of the mass was proven by incisional biopsy and immunohistochemical staining for prostate-specific antigen. Additional studies of the tumor included ultrastructural and quantitative deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis.
