Abstract
|
|
|
|
Warthin’s tumor (WT) is a common benign tumor of the parotid gland. Because WT has a lymphoid stroma, lymph node pathology can be superimposed on a WT, and its appearance can differ from that of a typical WT on imaging studies. We report on a rare case of a WT and tuberculosis within another WT in the same parotid gland, with a good correlation between histological sections and computed tomography scans. The patient underwent a superficial parotidectomy and received anti-tuberculous treatment. The patient recovered without complication. In summary, clinicians and radiologists should be concerned about lymph node pathology superimposed on a WT, particularly when an unusual imaging finding of a WT is suspected.
