Presentation with synchronous salivary gland tumors is rare, with the most typical combination being Warthin's tumor and pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland. Involvement of minor salivary glands in such occurrences is extremely uncommon. We report a case of simultaneous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the tongue and pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular gland in a 40-year-old woman. The submandibular mass was initially considered to represent regional lymph node tumor metastasis but later was shown to be an intraglandular primary neoplasm.
