Simultaneous nasopharyngeal and parotid gland Warthin's tumour: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, a rare case of synchronous cystoadenolymphoma (Warthin's tumour) of the right parotid gland and the nasopharyngeal space is described. Although Warthin's tumour (WT) of the parotid gland is a common benign pathology, the occurrence of extra-parotid cystoadenolymphoma is rare. Extra-parotid WT have been mainly localised in the submandibular gland, periparotid region and occasionally in other sites, such as the oral cavity, hard palate and nasopharynx. The simultaneous occurrence of an intra-parotid and extra-parotid WT localisation, as in the case presented, is extremely uncommon.

Poorly differentiated carcinoma arising from adenolymphoma of the parotid gland
BACKGROUND There is only one previous case report of a poorly differentiated carcinoma arising from an adenolymphoma of the parotid gland (Warthin's tumour). The absence of clinical symptoms, and the aspecificity of the radiological pattern make the diagnosis very difficult. CASE PRESENTATION We here report the case of a 73-year-old man with Warthin's tumour who was brought to our attention b...
متن کاملOncocytic metaplasia of the nasopharynx or extra-parotid Warthin's tumour?
A case of oncocytic metaplasia obstructing the Eustachian tube in an elderly patient is described. Histologically, it was similar to Warthin's tumour of the parotid gland. The lymphocytes were predominantly T cell, unlike those of Warthin's tumour which are predominantly B cell. It is proposed that oncocytic metaplasia represents an early stage in the evolution of Warthin's tumour.
متن کاملSynchronous bilateral Warthin's tumours of the parotid glands: a case report
Warthin's tumour is the most frequent monomorphic adenoma of the major salivary glands, representing about 2-15% of all parotid tumours. Most of the multifocal Warthin's tumours are unilateral, whereas bilateral Warthin's tumours are far less common; bilateral Warthin's tumours are metachronous with few synchronous cases having been described in the literature. The Authors present an interestin...
متن کاملSynchronous unilateral parotid neoplasms. A case report.
The parotid gland is the most usual location of benign neoplasms affecting major salivary glands and quite often the recurrence of these tumours is noticed, specially in the case of pleomorphic adenoma. The occurrence of multiple tumours in the parotid glands is rare and the majority of these are multifocal Warthin's tumors (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum). The simultaneous development of ...
متن کاملWarthin's tumour of the parotid gland: our experience
Benign tumours account for approximately 60-80% of parotid neoplasms and among these, Warthin's tumour is the second most common benign neoplasm accounting for approximately 15% of all parotid epithelial tumours. The medical records of 100 consecutive patients with Warthin's tumour of the parotid gland admitted for treatment at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology, Ho...
