Metastasising PA (MPA) is a rare subtype which is histologically and molecularly indistinguishable from the tumor in the primary location that often occurs after multiple recurrences.We herein report a case of 29 year female who underwent right parotidectomy for PA 15 years ago which was followed by history of recurrences and now presenting with MPA involving ipsilateral lymph nodes.
