Bilateral mixed Warthin's tumors showed uneven uptake on Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging. This case report compares imaging findings with CT, surgical, and pathology results for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Warthin's tumors are benign salivary gland neoplasms, commonly bilateral.
  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is a diagnostic tool for salivary gland lesions.

Observation:

  • A case of bilateral mixed Warthin's tumors is presented.
  • Nonuniform radiotracer uptake was observed on Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging.
  • Imaging findings were correlated with computed tomography (CT), surgical, and histopathological results.

Findings:

  • Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy demonstrated characteristic, albeit nonuniform, uptake in bilateral Warthin's tumors.
  • CT provided complementary anatomical detail.

  • Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of mixed Warthin's tumors.

    • Implications:

    • Tc-99m pertechnetate imaging can aid in the diagnosis of Warthin's tumors, even with atypical uptake patterns.
    • Multimodality imaging correlation enhances diagnostic accuracy.
    • Understanding imaging features is vital for surgical planning and patient care.
