Abstract
Squamous cell carcinomas of the parotid gland are very rare. Majority of them will be metastatic with primaries in the head and neck. Very rarely, they can be from unknown primaries or primary parotid tumor itself. We present a case of the Squamous cell carcinoma with extensive local spread to the scalp, skin of the face, parapharyngeal space and causing occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Brief review of literature regarding primary and secondary type of these tumors is also included. Key words: Squamous cell carcinoma, parotid tumors.
