“…6 The intraglandular nodes are lo¬ cated along the posterior facial vein between the superficial and deep portions of the gland and are both superficial and deep to the facial nerve. An average of 20 to 30 nodes is said to be present.1 The paraglandular nodes are predominantly in the preauricular area, along the superficial temporal vessels.…”

“…In addition, facial and scalp lesions often metastasize to parotid lymph nodes that have to be included as part of the extended neck dissection. Graham 17 stated that superficial parotidectomy alone will not adequately remove all the parotid lymph nodes.…”

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma has a relatively low metastatic rate (0.5% to 16%), but patients with the disease should always be evaluated for possible regional nodal involvement. We reviewed the records of 37 patients with metastatic disease among the 388 patients with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who were treated at New York University Medical Center between 1961 and 1992. In this group of patients the most common primary sit was the cheek or preauricular region and the most common metastatic site was the level I neck lymph nodes. Seven patients (18%) had metastases at initial presentation. Among the remaining patients the average time to the development of metastases was 19 months. Nineteen patients (51%) had recurrence at the primary site before metastasis; 11 (30%) developed metastases with control of the primary tumor. Analysis of the records of 31 patients treated for cure revealed that 13 were treated by surgery, 2 by radiation therapy, and 16 by a combination of surgery and radiation therapy. During the mean follow-up period of 49 months, 11 (35%) of these 31 patients died of their disease. Recurrence of the primary tumor appeared to increase the risk for nodal and distant metastases.

“…The extent of parotidectomy for metastatic cutaneous SCC remains controversial. Most authors 15,17,18 believe that superficial parotidectomy is inadequate to address the intraglandular lymph nodes that may be deep to the facial nerve and have found a high rate of recurrence with superficial parotidectomy alone. Others 16 claim that the lymphatic tissue deep to the facial nerve is of limited clinical significance in the case of metastatic disease to the parotid gland.…”
