A young pregnant woman presented to the emergency department with acute lower abdominal pain. The ultrasound examination showed not only a viable fetus with a gestational age of 24 weeks but also a heteroechoic mass of about 7×7 cm involving parts of the face. The patient was found to be in active labour with rapid progression, and she gave birth to a dead female neonate. The autopsy showed a large malignant mixed tumour of the left parotid gland and revealed infection with cytomegalovirus. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a malignant mixed tumour of salivary glands in fetuses.
