[Thalamocapsular metastasis of muco-epidermoid adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland].

A 58 years woman with muco-epidermitis carcinoma of the left parotid gland treated by parotidectomy and external radiation developed seven years later a left hemianopsia and moria related to thalamo-capsulo-lenticular lesions. Three stereotactic biopsies were performed. Neuropathological examination confirmed a secondary lesion of carcinoma with the same histological features than primary lesion of the parotid. Due to the metastasis location treatment consisted in external radiotherapy guided by stereotactic coordinates.
