Abstract

Warthin's tumor is the second most common benign tumor of the parotid gland, which consists of epithelial and lymphoid components. Malignant change is known to be extremely rare. In Korean literature, only a case of low grade adenocarcinoma arising from Warthin's tumor was reported. For squamous cell carcinoma, there has never been reported in Korea. The authors report a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from Warthin's tumor in a 77-year-old male, who was treated with primary resection. The patient is well without any recurrence or metastasis after 15 months of follow-up.
