Carcinomas of the lower esophagus, gastroesophageal junction or stomach rarely metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes. Furthermore, the parotid gland is an even more unusual site of metastasis from a carcinoma located at these sites. We describe the case of a 45-year-old male patient who was diagnosed 2 months after transhiatal gastroesophagectomy for a primary gastric adenocarcinoma with metastasis in the left parotid gland. In the literature we have only found one other case report.
