ABSTRACT

Warthin's tumor, which accounts for around 2-15% of all parotid tumors, is the most common monomorphic adenoma of the main salivary glands. Adenolymphoma, papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, and monomorphic adenoma are some of the words used to characterize it. It is a disease of the salivary glands, a benign cystic tumor with an extensive lymphoid stroma and an epithelial component. This tumor, which is found in the parotid gland, is the second most prevalent benign salivary gland tumor. From a clinical perspective, it looks to be a slow-growing tumor that fluctuates frequently due to its cystic form. Complete excision with broad tumor-free margins is considered as the optimum course of treatment. In this case, a 57-year-old male patient had a warthin's tumor that was treated with a parotidectomy and did not recur after six months of follow-up.
