Abstract :
Papillary cystadenoma lymphamatosum (Warthin s tumor) is a benign salivary gland neoplasm of the parotid gland. It is usually encountered as a slowly growing mass located in the tail of the parotid gland, however it can be rarely derived from the cervical lymph nodes and minor salivary glands. In this article, we reported a case of warthin tumor with atpical location. A forty year-old patient consulted to our clinic who was suffering from a swelling below the right angulus mandible and otherwise healthy. He has undergone an excisional biopsy with the preliminary diagnosis of lymphadenopathy after physical examination and imaging. The histopathologic appearence was interpreted as warthin tumor. No complication or recurrence was observed in the follow-up period. We aimed to emphasize that this tumor may be also seen outside the parotid gland in any other localization of the neck and so it must be born in mind in cervical mass management.
