Abstract
- Warthin's tumor (Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum) is a slowly growing benign tumor. It is usually found in the parotid gland but sometimes in extraparotid locations such as periparotid lymph nodes and jugular lymph nodes. We here report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with multiple neck masses. The computed tomographic scan showed multiple masses in the left parotid gland, at the left mid-neck and right upper neck. We enucleated the intraparotid mass and excised multiple neck mass. The histopathologic examination revealed Warthin's tumor, which is multifocal and is found in multisites.
