Salivary glands can be affected by autoimmune diseases. Although Sjögren syndrome is the most common form of autoimmune salivary gland diseases, many other diseases may affect the salivary glands mainly through immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related reactions. While Sjögren's syndrome affects the exocrine gland duct, IgG4-related disease usually affects the parenchyma of the salivary gland via an autoimmune reaction. A Küttners’ tumor is a rare salivary gland disease related with IgG4+ lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis. Herein, we report an adult male case of Küttner’s tumor of the submandibular gland and discuss its clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment algorithms in the light of the literature data.
