Abstract

Warthin's tumor is composed of glandular and often cystic structures with a papillary cystic arrangement, lined by characteristic eosinophilic epithelium. The stroma contains lymphoid tissue. Between 5 and 10 percent of all parotid gland tumors are Warthin's tumor and occurs almost exclusively in the parotid gland. This tumor is much more common in men than in women (5:1). Histologically it is composed of epithelial and lymphoid tissue. The treatment of this tumor is surgical excision and seldom recur after removal. Recently, We had experienced a case of warthin's tumor of the parotid gland in a 66 year old male treated with surgical removal.
