Abstract
Introduction: Warthin’s tumour (WT) previously known as papillary cystadeno-lymphomatosum is the most frequent ‘monomorphic’ adenoma of the major salivary glands, representing about 2–15% of all parotid tumours. It is a benign epithelial salivary gland neoplasm affecting elderly individuals and commonly involves the inferior pole of parotid glands. Fine needle aspiration cytology is considered the first diagnostic approach for salivary gland lesions; however, the cytological findings in Warthin tumor can be dubious many a times.
 Case Presentation: We present a case of a female in sixth decade of life with left neck swelling which mimicked a necrotic lymph node on imaging and turned out to be Warthin tumor.
 Conclusion: In the present paper, we discuss the diagnostic dilemmas faced in a case of warthin tumor.
