Abstract

The authors report a case of Warthin's tumor associated with cat scratch disease placed in 2 nodes. Both arose at the same time and evolved rapidly. Diagnosis was made by histology after their removal. We underline the rarity of the pathology, the frequent diagnosis made after operation and recommend enuclouresection of neoplasm as the first choice, considering the benignity of the lesion and the modest aggression allowed.
