We have experienced 2 cases of so-called Küttner tumor. Both were located at the submandibular gland; the one was bilateral and the other unilateral. Abnormal autoimmunity seemed to be involved in the onset in both cases. The bilateral case was complicated with gastric cancer. The etiology of this disease is not clear and it seems to be necessary to make an immnological examination and to investigate the findings and complications seen in autoimmune disease to elucidate the etiology of this disease. In addition, we considered that surgical resection should be performed in principle in the treatment of this disease.
