Oncocytic carcinomas of the salivary glands are rare. The submandibular gland is a rare location. It is usually associated with a poor prognosis and recurrence after treatment. We report a case of a 52-year-old man with a lymph node and brain metastasis recurrence of an oncocytic carcinoma of the submandibular gland.

Keywords: brain metastasis; lymph node metastasis; oncocytic carcinoma; submandibular gland.
