Urology. 1993 Mar;41(3):272-3. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(93)90573-s.

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.
