A 49-year-old female presented to our department with right infra-auricular swelling present for more than 3 weeks. The patient’s medical history was not remarkable. The patient had no fever, cough, stridor, dyspnea, shortness of breath, rash, and dryness of mouth or eyes, weight loss, convulsions, or previous hospital admissions. The family history was unremarkable. Physical examination reveal...

PURPOSE To present the clinical features of patients with parotid gland metastasis, and compare the results with previously published series. Most of the relevant literature arises from case reports, while there are only few series reported, as secondary neoplastic lesions of the parotid gland are uncommon. METHODS The medical records of patients with parotid gland metastasis, treated at the ...

  Extra-skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignant neoplasm, morphologically indistinguishable from skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma. The usual sites of involvement are the soft tissues of para-vertebral region, chest wall, and lower extremity. Extra-skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma is rare in the head and neck region and very few cases are reported in the parotid gland. The cytological features...

OBJECTIVE Assessment of benign and malignant lesions of the parotid gland, including metastatic lesions, is challenging with current imaging methods. Fluorine-18 FDG PET/CT is a noninvasive imaging modality that provides both anatomic and metabolic information. Semiquantitative data obtained from PET/CT, also known as PET/CT parameters, are maximum, mean, or peak standardized uptake values (SUV...

Warthin’s tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum or adenolymphoma, is the second most common benign tumor of the salivary glands. It is commonly seen in lower lobe of the parotid gland and affects mainly male in sixth or seventh decades of life. Studies have shown that there is a close association between Warthin’s tumor and cigarette smoking. Preoperative fine needle aspirati...

BACKGROUND Warthin tumor is the second most common benign salivary gland neoplasm after pleomorphic adenoma. Warthin tumors occur almost exclusively in the parotid gland and periparotid lymph nodes, extraparotid localization is rare. METHODS AND RESULTS We describe a case of a patient presenting with a synchronous unilateral parotid gland and nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor. CONCLUSION We prop...

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:366-70) 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...
