Cystic lesions of the neck are usually diagnosed in infancy or childhood, but detection may be delayed until adulthood. The clinical manifestations combined with knowledge of the embryology and spatial anatomy of the head and neck often provide clues for a correct diagnosis. Ultrasound is frequently used initially to confirm the cystic nature of the lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging provide essential information on the cyst location that allows optimal preoperative planning.Keywords: Cystic lesion; imaging; neck.Cystic lesions of the neck are usually diagnosed in infancy or childhood, but detection may be delayed until adulthood. They often manifest as slow-growing masses and cause symptoms only after enlarging sufficiently or after infection. The clinical manifestations combined with knowledge of the embryology and spatial anatomy of the head and neck often provide clues for a correct diagnosis.[1] IMAGING MODALITYUltrasound is frequently used initially to confirm the cystic nature of the lesion.[2] Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide essential information on the cyst location that allows optimal preoperative planning.[2] They are considered complementary, rather than competitive, modalities.[3] The advantages of MRI over CT in imaging other parts of body also apply to the neck, including better soft tissue resolution, lack of ionizing radiation and safer contrast agents.[3] By comparison CT examinations offer the advantages of superior assessment of osseous structures, shorter examination time, wider patient access and lower cost. ÖZBoynun kistik lezyonlarına genellikle süt çocukluğunda veya çocuklukta tanı konulur, fakat tespit erişkinliğe kadar gecikebilir. Baş ve boynun embriyoloji ve uzamsal anatomi bilgisi ile beraber klinik belirtiler çoğu zaman doğru bir tanı için ipuçları sağlar. Lezyonun kistik yapısını doğrulamak için ilk olarak sıklıkla ultrason kullanılır. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme kist konumu hakkında gerekli bilgiyi sağlayarak ideal bir ameliyat öncesi planlamaya olanak verir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Kistik lezyon; görüntüleme; boyun.

“…Approximately 10% of Warthin tumours infarct following fine-needle aspiration biopsy. 5 Therefore, the possibility that the lesion reported by Tsuji et al 1 could be an infarcted Warthin tumour deserves serious consideration.…”

RESUMENLos tumores de las glándulas salivales, aunque poco frecuentes, pueden ser motivo de consulta en atención primaria. De todas, es la glándula parótida el sitio donde asientan con más frecuencia (80-85 % de los casos), siendo el adenoma pleomorfo el más común, seguido del tumor de Warthin que representa entre el 2 % y el 15 % del total de las neoplasias benignas. Presentamos un caso de tumor de Warthin bilateral y multifocal detectado y diagnosticado, inicialmente, a través de la ecografía y de la punción-aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF) realizadas en el centro de salud de Buenavista, Toledo.Palabras Clave: Neoplasias de las Glándulas Salivales. Tumor de Warthin. Ecografía. ABSTRACTBilateral and multiple parotid gland tumour Salivary gland tumours, although quite uncommon, may be a reason for primary care consultation. Of all the glands, the parotid gland is where they are most frequently located (80-85 % of cases), with the pleomorphic adenoma being the most common, followed by the Warthin tumour, which makes up between 2 % and 15 % of the total of benign neoplasms. We present the case of a bilateral multifocal Warthin tumour initially detected and diagnosed by ultrasound scan and fine needle puncture-aspiration assessment (PAAF), carried out at the Buenavista health centre, Toledo. INTRODUCCIÓNLos tumores de las glándulas salivales constituyen un grupo heterogéneo de neoplasias que varían considerablemente según su origen anatómico, histológico y comportamiento biológico. Anatómicamente, la glándula parótida es la más frecuentemente afectada, con un 80-85 % de los casos. Tres de cada cuatro lesiones parotídeas son benignas 1 .Histológicamente, el tipo más común de los tumores benignos es el adenoma pleomórfico o tumor mixto (aproximadamente el 50 %). Otros tumores benignos menos habituales son el adenoma de células basales, el adenoma canalicular y, sobre todo, el tumor de Warthin o cistoadenoma papilar linfomatoso o adenolinfoma, con un 2 al 15 % de los casos [1][2][3] .El tumor de Warthin predomina en varones (4:1), entre los 60 y 70 años, sobre todo fumadores; puede ser solitario o bilateral en el 10 % de los casos y, en ocasiones, multifocal, de crecimiento lento y con posibilidad de malignizarse [1][2][3][4] . La transformación maligna se describe en solo el 0,1 % de los casos, y por lo general se presenta en el epitelio linfoide 1,5 . En cuanto a los tumores malignos, los más frecuentes son el carcinoma mucoepidermoide y el carcinoma adenoide quístico 4 . Otros tumores agresivos raros incluyen el carcinoma de células pequeñas primario y el carcinoma salival ductal, que es más frecuente en hombres mayores de 60 años 1,3,5 .
