Oligometastatic breast cancer is usually defined as advanced breast cancer with less or equal than 5 metastatic lesions. We report a case of oligometastatic HER-2 breast cancer to parotid gland and lymph nodes which presented with left hemifacial swelling with erythema and enlargement of cervical and axillary lymph nodes. After 6 cycles of Docetaxel plus Trastuzumab the patient had complete response that was complemented with posterior surgical removal of primary tumor followed by radiotherapy directed to plastron, left supraclavicular and cervical drainage. The patient is still on Trastuzumab therapy and is free of disease in the last two years. We discuss the presentation and approach of a patient with metastatic breast cancer to parotid gland in the oligometastatic scenario.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/bd-210049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,10]],"date-time":"2023-03-10T11:59:34Z","timestamp":1678449574000},"page":"67-71","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Oligometastatic breast cancer to parotid gland with complete response"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Veruska","family":"Peron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":", Hospital do C\u00e2ncer de Londrina, , Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariana","family":"Miyasaki Piovesana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":", Hospital do C\u00e2ncer de Londrina, , Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eni","family":"Martins Medeiros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":", Hospital do C\u00e2ncer de Londrina, , Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Andr\u00e9 Di Ricco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":", Hospital do C\u00e2ncer de Londrina, , Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vitor","family":"Teixeira Liutti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":", Hospital do C\u00e2ncer de Londrina, , Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/BD-210049_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21660","article-title":"Global Cancer Statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries","volume":"71","author":"Sung","year":"2021","journal-title":"CA Cancer J Clin"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/BD-210049_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"288","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2018.19323","article-title":"Breast cancer treatment: A review","volume":"321","author":"Waks","year":"2019","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/BD-210049_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e95","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(11)70323-0","article-title":"Breast cancer in Brazil: Present status and future goals","volume":"13","author":"Lee","year":"2012","journal-title":"Lancet Oncol"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/BD-210049_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E21","DOI":"10.1177\/014556131709600321","article-title":"Breast cancer metastases to the head and neck: Case series and literature review","volume":"96","author":"Tracy","year":"2017","journal-title":"Ear Nose Throat\u00a0J"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/BD-210049_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"138","DOI":"10.1007\/s12282-018-0921-1","article-title":"Oligometastatic breast cancer","volume":"26","author":"Kwapisz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Breast Cancer"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/BD-210049_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1007\/s11912-020-0867-2","article-title":"Oligometastatic breast cancer: Is this a curable entity?
