Abstract

Carcinosarcomas of the salivary gland are very rare and demonstrate malignant epithelial and sarcomatous components. Patients of this tumor are usually in their sixties and it most frequently involves the parotid (65%). Carcinosarcomas are considered by most investigators to be aggressive neoplasms with poor survival. We report a case of submandibular gland carcinosarcoma that showed squamous cell carcinoma and fibrosarcoma in a 27-year-old man.
