[A case of malignant carcinoma in submandibular salivary gland in a 13-year old girl].
Of all head and neck neoplasms, 3% are malignant salivary neoplasms. Only 20% of them affect submandibular glands. These tumours vary histologically, which results from the complex embryogenesis of the glands. Malignant submandibular gland tumours are twice as frequent as parotid gland tumours. Simultaneous occurrence of quite different malignant tumours in the same salivary gland is extremely rare. The age range of patients affected with salivary gland neoplasms is wide. However, the occurrence of these neoplasms in children is exceptionally rare. The authors describe a case of a 13-year-old girl with acinose adenoid carcinoma and cystiscarcinoma coexisting in one submandibular salivary gland.
