Recurrence with lymph node and brain metastasis of an oncocytic carcinoma of the submandibular gland: A case report

Oncocytic carcinomas of the salivary glands are rare. The submandibular gland is a rare location. It is usually associated with a poor prognosis and recurrence after treatment. We report a case of a 52‐year‐old man with a lymph node and brain metastasis recurrence of an oncocytic carcinoma of the submandibular gland.

“…can get infected. [4][5][6] Intramuscular hydatid cyst accounts for less than 3% of cases. The contractile nature of the muscles and the high lactic acid content make muscles not a suitable site for implantation of hydatid cysts.…”
