J Oral Pathol Med. 2005 Feb;34(2):127-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0714.2004.00240.x.

Abstract

This case report deals with a patient who was readmitted with a bilateral submandibular swelling after having received primary surgery due to gastric adenocarcinoma 6 months before. After bilateral submandibulectomy both glands were diagnosed histopathologically as metastasis of adenocarcinoma. This is the rare case of a submandibular gland metastasis and the first case of a bilateral synchronous submandibular gland metastasis from gastric carcinoma.
