Case Discussion
Complete excision was done and the pathology report confirmed it to be a Warthin tumor (also known as (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum). They are the second most common benign tumors of the parotid gland and are twice as common in men than in women.
Most parotid tumors present as slow-growing, painless masses.
