Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid frequently presents with metastatic disease involving regional lymph nodes. However, metastasis to parotid gland is very rare and can be mistaken for a primary parotid gland tumor. We present a case of a 53-year-old female who presented with right parotid swelling. MRI of the head and neck with contrast was suggestive of a pleomorphic adenoma. She was operated on for sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid four years back. Characteristic cytological findings of a mixture of high-grade malignant cells with vacuolated cells along with clinical correlation were helpful in the diagnosis of this tumor following which the patient underwent parotidectomy.
