Abstract
This report describes the first reported case of a nuclear protein in testis midline carcinoma (NMC) arising from the submandibular gland (SMG) duct in a pregnant woman. A 29-year-old pregnant woman presented with a left-side mass in the floor of the mouth. An NMC arising from the SMG duct was confirmed by excisional biopsy examination. Intensive treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy, was provided without termination of the pregnancy. Additional chemotherapy and radiotherapy were provided after delivery. The treatment was successful. Neither the patient nor her infant had any complications and the patient remained disease free 20Â months after her initial surgery. This report describes the successful diagnosis and treatment of a rare presentation of an NMC of the SMG duct in a pregnant woman.
