Abstract :
- The second most frequent salivary gland
tumour after pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin's tumour
is also known as adenolymphoma, cystadenolymphoma,
and papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum. It often
develops from the parotid gland and makes up between
4% and 13% of all salivary gland tumours. With relative
rates of 6.9% and8%, extraparotid Warthin tumours
from the submandibular gland and cervical lymph nodes
are extremely uncommon. Moreover, Warthins tumours
that originate in the minor salivary gland are incredibly
uncommon, with documented incidences ranging from
0.1% to 1.2%. Several cysts with numerous papillae are
visible in Warthin's tumour, which is covered in
bilayered columnar and basaloid oncocytic epithelium.
They typically appear as slowly expanding, painless
masses that emerge from the parotid gland's tail,
although they can also infrequently appear as quickly
expanding, painful lesions. We describe a rare instance
of a 6-month-old asymptomatic Warthin's tumour in a
55-year-old male patient's left submandibular gland.
Warthins tumour, extra parotid, and submandibular
gland are important terms.
