Metastatic disease in the major salivary glands is rare and the parotid gland is most frequently involved. Secondary deposits in the submandibular gland are very uncommon. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman who developed a metastasis from breast cancer in the right submandibular gland, 9 years after primary surgery for G3 T1c N0 ipsilateral breast carcinoma. The peculiarity of the case was the unusual site of the metastatic disease and the difficulty in differential diagnosis with primitive ductal salivary carcinoma.
大唾液腺的转移性疾病罕见，其中腮腺最常受累。下颌下腺的继发性沉积物非常少见。我们报告一例50岁女性病例，该患者在原发性G3 T1c N0同侧乳腺癌手术9年后，右下颌下腺发生乳腺癌转移。该病例的特点是转移疾病的部位不寻常，且与原发性导管唾液腺癌的鉴别诊断存在困难。
