Abstract

Warthin's tumor is a benign salivary gland neoplasm occurring principally in parotid glands. It is also designated as
papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (or adenolymphoma). It accounts for about 15% of all benign and malignant
epithelial neoplasms of the parotid gland. Here we are presenting a case of worrisome jaw mass that proved to be a benign
Warthin's tumor by fine needle aspiration cytological examination.
