“…There are rare reports of WT detected in minor salivary glands of the buccal mucosa, hard palate, lip and oropharynx. Thus, WT arising from minor salivary glands is extremely rare, with a reported incidence of only 0.1%‐1.2% . WT can also be found in intra‐ and periparotid lymph nodes and rarely in cervical lymph nodes and in other locations such as the larynx or thyroid gland .…”

Warthin's tumour (WT) is a benign epithelial salivary tumour, one type of salivary adenoma. Histologically, WT is structured of two components, epithelial tissue that often lines cystic formations and lymphoid tissue in the tumour stroma. FNA is a reliable diagnostic approach in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions allowing a highly accurate categorization of benign tumour‐like lesions, benign tumours and malignant tumours. In the proposed Milan reporting system of salivary gland lesions, WT is categorized in the IVA group of benign neoplasms. Accurate cytological diagnosis is straightforward when three characteristic components are present: oncocytes, either isolated or associated in clusters, lymphocytes and lymphoid cells and often an inflammatory/necrotic‐like substance. Also, specific features of scintigraphy and radiological imaging contribute to the diagnosis of WT. WT is categorized according to Seifert G. et al in 4 types, depending on the proportions of the epithelial component and lymphoid stroma. Differential cytopathological and pathohistological diagnosis include other salivary gland lesions with lymphoid, oncocytic epithelial and cystic components. In some cases, such as the metaplastic WT variant, there are additional cytopathological and histological diagnostic difficulties. Moreover, bilateral, multicentric or multiple and infrequently seen extra‐salivary localizations of WT are associated with further cytopathological diagnostic difficulties. Also, a rare possibility of malignant transformation of the epithelial or lymphoid component of WT as well as possible association with other primary tumours remains a challenge in accurate cytopathological and histological diagnosis of WT.

“…Rarely, Warthin's tumours have been reported arising in the submandibular gland (Kukreja and Jain, 1971), upper and lower lips (Peruzzo, 1952;Veronesi and Corbetta, 1960), buccal mucosa (Hart and Andrews, 1968;Baden et al, 1976;Friedlander and Thorn, 1977;Kerpel etal, 1978;Friedmann, 1986), palate (Hendrick, 1964;Fantasia and Miller, 1981), oropharynx (Stout, 1946;Vellios and Shafer, 1959;Singh, 1966) nasopharyngeal space (Friedmann, 1953), nasal cavity (Struthers et al, 1954;Rauch et al, 1970), maxillary sinus (Struthers et al, 1954), larynx (M0ller and 0rntoft, 1965;Steglich-Petersen, 1966;Donald and Krause, 1973;Foulsham et al, 1981), lacrimal (Rauch et al, 1970) and sweat glands (Bergholz et al, 1980). The histogenesis of both parotid and extraparotid types of Warthin's tumour is still controversial (Baden etal, 1976;Batsakis and Regezi, 1978;Batsakis, 1979;Shugar et al, 1982;Chapnik, 1983).…”

Nasopharyngeal Warthin's tumour: A metaplastic lesion

et al. 1989

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Warthin's tumour arising from minor salivary glands of the nasopharynx is described in a patient with eosinophilic rhinitis and nasal polyposis. The microscopical features of this lesion were indistinguishable from those of Warthin's tumours of the parotid gland. The present case supports the histogenetic theory that the epithelial component of extraparotid Warthin's tumours represents reactive oncocytic metaplasia and hyperplasia induced by chronic inflammation rather than genuine neoplasia. It is suggested that the term Warthin's tumour is preferable to designations indicating neoplasia of these extraparotid lesions which are indistinguishable histologically and ultrastructurally from parotid and juxtaparotid adenolymphomas.

“…However, reports of distant EPWT occurring in unusual sites such as the nasal pharynx, larynx, 9 sinuses, and lacrimal duct tax this embryogenetic theory. Even Warthin's tumor originating within the submandibular glands 10 presents a problem because it is known that these salivary glands encapsulate early and lack the lymphoid elements that are present within the developed parotid glands. In essence, evidence supports the existence of EPWT in periparotid adjacent areas such as the neck, but it is important to consider reports of EPWT in other sites as controversial.…”

Extraparotid Warthin's tumors continue to challenge the head and neck surgeon's diagnostic and therapeutic skills. A series of six extraparotid Warthin's tumors are presented to illustrate the need to keep a high index of suspicion for this lesion in the workup of cystic masses involving cervical levels II and III or in the event of a concomitant neck mass and a parotid Warthin's tumor. Discussion of the debate surrounding the embryogenesis and histogenesis of extraparotid Warthin's tumors follows. Clinical guidelines are suggested for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with extraparotid Warthin's tumors.
