Abstract

Introduction: Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular tumor of the child. Metastasis to the parotid gland is very rare. There are only 5 cases previously reported in the literature and because of their rarities and the relative lack of data on their management, there is no clearly defined treatment algorithm.

Case Report: We report a case of a 4 years-old child operated for retinoblastoma who received adjuvant chemotherapy, and presented 9 months after her surgery, parotid metastasis of retinoblastoma for which she underwent a total parotidectomy with preservation of facial nerve, and lymph node dissection.

Discussion and Conclusion: The aim of this case is to discuss the clinical, Para-clinical and Pathological characteristics, confirming the poor prognosis of secondary tumors of the parotid, especially with metastatic lymph node
