A case of 42 years-old man with bilateral big sized (12 x 5 cm and 10 x 4,5 cm) oncocytoma in submandibular glands was presented. Oncocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm observed in numerous of organs. In the case described besides submandibular glands tumours, accessory oncocytic tumours in both kidneys were diagnosed. It was the reason of earlier unilateral nephrectomy. Surgical treatment was applied. The comparison of the both tumours histology allowed to establish proper diagnosis. The case is presented because of the explicitly of the oncocytoma location especially in the both submandibular glands simultaneously with tumour of the same histology in distant organs.
