Coexistence of Parotic Warthin Tumor and Oncocytic Ductal Cyst in the Larynx

Abstract

Warthin tumor is one of the common benign tumors of the parotid gland. Its incidence comes in second place after pleomorphic adenoma. Histologically, Warthin tumor is a benign salivary gland tumor surrounded by capsule and containing oncocytic epithelium and lymphoid stroma. The incidence of oncocytic lesions in laryngeal biopsies is 0.5-1%. They are often seen in the parotid gland in the head and neck region. This case is presented due to the association with Warthin tumor located in parotid gland and rare oncocytic cyst of larynx in a 57-year-old male patient.
