Synchronous parotid and nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor
1The Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, Tel Aviv, Israel.
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 propose that, although this occurrence of a synchronous parotid gland and nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor may be coincidental, it is more likely to be an effect of a systemic factor.
