title: [Embryonal carcinoma of the submandibular gland. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report a case of infantile embryonal carcinoma of the submandibular gland in a nine months old infant. The diagnosis was based on typical histopathological features, and positive reaction of tumor cells with alpha-foetoprotein. The patient was treated by wide surgical excision and chemotherapy. The clinical course was favourable two years later with normalization of serum alpha-foetoprotein levels and with no abnormality on the thoraco-abdomino-facial CT scan.
