We provide 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-sided mass in the floor of the mouth. A NMC arising from the SMG duct was confirmed by excisional biopsy. Intensive treatment, including surgery and chemotherapy, was provided without termination of 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 20 months after her initial surgery. We here report the successful diagnosis and treatment of a rare presentation of a NMC of the SMG duct in a pregnant woman.
