Core Tip	Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) arising in the submandibular gland is particularly rare, and the related lymph node metastasis is difficult to distinguish from tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis, which complicates the establishment of a definitive diagnosis. We report our experience with a case of SDC in the submandibular gland, in which the similarities in the radiographic and imaging characteristics of lymph node metastatic SDC indeed mimicked those of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis. However, calcification at the submandibular grand proved to be a critical finding that enabled a definitive diagnosis.
