Major locations of this tumor are parotid glands, and minor salivary glands, while occurrence in submandibular gland is extremely rare. Only few cases have been reported in the literatures. Cystadenicarcinoma behaves in an indolent manner and recurrence is rarely occured, surgical complete excision is considered treatment of choice. We experienced a case of cystadenocarcinoma arising from submandibular gland, so we report this case with a review of literature.
