Abstract

A rare case of acinic cell carcinoma originating from the submandibular gland that was associated with lung metastasis is reported. A 56-year-old man was treated by surgery and postoperative radiation therapy; however, lung metastasis was found 3 years and 11 months after initial treatment. This case was retrospectively discussed in this paper.
