Abstract

Oncocytes, Lymphocytes, Bicameral: Warthin’s Tumour

Highlights

  • Benign tumours elucidate 60-80% of parotid neoplasm with specific clinical and histological aspects [1,2]

  • Warthin’ s tumour has a round to oval, unwrinkled external surface and a consistency of a resilient, cystic, soft to consolidated mass usually confined to the parotid gland

  • [1] The well circumscribed tumour is enveloped by a thick fibrous capsule which dissociates it from the circumferential tissues The tumour on histology, delineates an oncocytic epithelium configuring uniform cellular tiers surrounded by a cystic space with adjuvant lymphoid stroma often with prominent germinal centres

Summary

Introduction

Benign tumours elucidate 60-80% of parotid neoplasm with specific clinical and histological aspects [1,2]. Warthin’s tumour proportions 5-14% of the parotid neoplasm and 2-5% of the sub-maxillary gland. The glandular evolution of parotid with lymphoid elements corresponds to the evolution of the tumour. Warthin’s tumour may be bilateral, and 90% lesions arise in the superficial parotid lobe.
