  • Initially described in 1929, Warthin's tumor is a benign neoplasm predominantly found in the parotid gland of the salivary glands. Warthin's tumor is synonymous for cystadenoma lymphomatosum, adenolymphoma, and cystadenolymphoma. This tumor usually causes minimal pain, but the patient may complain of tinnitus, pain in the ear, or deafness. The tumor is treated with surgical excision, which is easily performed due to the superficial location of the tumor. In our case, a 69-year-old man visited our clinic primarily complaining of swelling in the left parotid gland area. Computed tomography revealed well-defined margins of the tumor in the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland and heterogeneous contrast enhancement. We performed superficial parotidectomy, with the pathological examination confirming Warthin's tumor. We report a typical case of Warthin's tumor and a literature review.

  • Warthin's tumor is the second most common benign tumor of the parotid gland, which consists of epithelial and lymphoid components. Malignant change is known to be extremely rare. In Korean literature, only a case of low grade adenocarcinoma arising from Warthin's tumor was reported. For squamous cell carcinoma, there has never been reported in Korea. The authors report a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from Warthin's tumor in a 77-year-old male, who was treated with primary resection. The patient is well without any recurrence or metastasis after 15 months of follow-up.

  • Warthintumor (WT), also known as adenolymphoma or papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, was described in 1895 for the first time. It is a common benign tumor of the parotid glands and the second most common neoplasm of the salivary gland, accounting for 5% to 14% of all parotid neoplasm. A 63-year-old man visited our clinic with the complaint of swelling on the right parotid gland. Physical examination showed a 3 cm, firm, well-circumscribed, painless mass on the right mandibular angle. Computed tomography imaging showed a $3.5{\times}2.0{\times}1.6$ cm well-defined cystic mass. WT is histologically characterized by bilayered, oncocystic cell, lymphoid stroma, and cystic space. With these typical cytomorphologic characteristics, the fine-needle aspiration cytology was performed as diagnostic tool before the surgery. The lymphocytes and oncocystic cell were not observed. The lesion was completely excised under general anesthesia. We diagnosed the case as WT, from the surgically excised specimen. We report on the case with a review of the literatures.

  • Warthin's tumour is also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum or adenolymphoma. This tumour represents 6% of all salivary gland tumour, and is the second most common neoplasm of the salivary gland. It occurs mostly in the parotid gland and in rare instances, it has been reported to occur within the submandibular gland or minor salivary glands. In the past, there was higher incidence in males than females, but more recent investigation shows a more balanced sex predilection. The mean age at diagnosis is 62 years and this tumour is uncommon in a patients younger than age 40. This tumour occurs most frequently in the tail of the parotid gland near the angle of the mandible. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice. But sometimes, parotidectomy is recommended because of its potential for being multifocal.

  • This review is based on the 52 cases of salivary gland tumors treated at the department of surgerym Hallym University Kangdong Sacred Heart hospital during the period from March 1987 to May 1992. There were 43 benign and 9 malignant tumors. Twenty eight(54%) of these cases were located in the parotid gland, 14(27%) in the submandibular gland, the rest of 10 cases(19%) in the minor salivary glands. Female outnumbered male by the ratio 1.6:1. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common tumor followed by carcinoma and adenolymphoma(Warthin's tumor). The most common presenting symptom in both benign and malignant tumors was palpable mass. However, some patients with malignancy presented symptoms such as pain, facial palsy and dysphagia. Among 9 cases with malignancies 3 cases were found to have metastasis in the regional lymphnodes and two cases had distant metastasis. In majority of benign parotid tumors, superficial parotidectomy was carried out. In three cases of carcinoma of parotid gland with lymphnode metastasis, total parotidectomy with radical neck dissection was done. One case out of two cases of carcinoma of submandibular gland was treated with total excision of the gland with radical neck dissection. There were no postoperative mortalies. Two cases each of facial palsies and wound infections were observed as complication.
