Regional lymph node metastasis significantly decreases survival in many parotid malignancies. High-grade cancers had higher incidences of regional disease than did low grade. Adenocarcinoma had the highest mortality when regional disease was present. Incidence of occult disease varied by histology, but incidence was <10% for all low-grade disease. High T stage and grade are significant independent predictors of nodal disease for most histopathologies.
