Resumen
En los tumores metastásicos de glándula salivar se pueden distinguir dos tipos generales de metástasis: unas con tumor origen en área de cabeza-cuello y otras con tumor origen a distancia. Las metástasis a distancia que afectan a la glándula submaxilar constituyen una entidad infrecuente. Aportamos un caso de leiomiosarcoma uterino que metastatizó a glándula submaxilar.

Abstract
Two general types of metastases should be distinguished in metastatic salivary gland tumors: one of them are tumors originating in the head and neck region, and the other are tumors from distant tumor sites. Distant metastasis affecting the submandibular gland are a rare entity. We report a case of the uterus leiomyosarcoma which metastatized in the submandibular gland.
