J Nat Sci Biol Med. 2013 Jul;4(2):492-6. doi: 10.4103/0976-9668.116999.

Abstract

Warthin's tumor undoubtedly is the most frequent monomorphic adenoma of the major salivary glands. Clinically, it appears as a slow-growing tumor often fluctuant on palpation due to its cystic nature. The treatment of choice is complete excision with wide tumor-free margins. This article highlights a case of Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland in an elderly male patient along with a review of the literature on the aforementioned pathology.

Keywords: Papillary cyst adenoma; Warthin's tumor; parotid gland.
