The literature concerned with sebaceous elements found within salivary glands can be traced from 1931, when benign sebaceous glands were first described in the submaxillary and the parotid glands, through the 1950's and 1960's, when sebaceous gland adenomas were reported, to 1964 when a report of the first sebaceous cell carcinoma arising in a mixed tumor was published. A case of sebaceous cell carcinoma which arose in the region of the parotid, unrelated to skin appendages or to another tumor, is presented. The carcinoma first was irradiated in an attempt to reduce its size but with little effect on the tumor; it then was removed surgically in August 1965. There has been no evidence of recurrence to date.
