Metastasis from early-stage sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid to the salivary glands is considered very rare, occurring in less than 3% of early-stage patients. We report the case of a 72-year-old Caucasian man with a parotid tumor. Fine needle aspiration was consistent with a salivary duct carcinoma. A subtotal parotidectomy with ipsilateral neck dissection was performed. The pathology report revealed a sebaceous carcinoma with one parotid and two cervical lymph nodes infiltrated. The patient had a history of an early-stage sebaceous carcinoma of the upper eyelid two years before, which was revealed after the histological examination. An early-stage eyelid sebaceous carcinoma can metastasize to lymph nodes of the parotid glands. A close follow-up should not be neglected. Copyright © 2024, Ioannidis et al.
