Summary
Warthin’s tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum or adenolymphoma, is the second most common benign tumor of the parotid gland. The incidence of Warthin’s tumors are observed more often in male population but in the last four decades more and more women suffered from this tumors. At that time, the male-to-female ratio is approximately 5:1. Malignant transformation is very rare in this tumor. It has been reported up 14% to 30 % of parotid tumors. First time it was described in 1929 by the American pathologist Aldred Scott Warthin. The number of patients with a benign Warthin’s tumor is increasing and their optimal treatment is a problem for health care. Optimal treatment of Warthin’s tumor remains controversial. In this article the authors presented a case of a 75-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital because of giant tumor located in the left parotid gland. The patient underwent partial excision of the parotid gland on the left side with the Warthin’s tumor and inthe first dayafter surgerywas discharged home.
