Sebaceous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland is a rare lesion. A review of the English literature reveals nine previously reported cases. Two cases are presented in which the tumor was originally diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Aggressive treatment of the recurrence, which was subsequently recognized as sebaceous cell carcinoma has resulted in apparent cure. Histologic features and possible histogenesis are discussed.
