title: Spindle cell mucoepidermoid carcinoma of submandibular gland.
abstract: A malignant tumor of the submandibular gland was found to consist predominately of spindle cell elements that initially suggested a primary sarcoma. Further examination revealed that the spindled malignant cells were derived from a high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
