Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, or Warthin's tumor, is a benign lesion of the salivary glands occurring most frequently in the parotid region. Since the initial report of this lesion in 1910, numerous reports have appeared in the literature concerning the occurrence of Warthin's tumor in many extraparotid locations, including the larynx. The vast majority of those tumors arising in the larynx have been disproved because of the absence of one or more of the histologic characteristics of this lesion within the surgical specimen. This paper will review the histologic criteria of Warthin's tumor and the typical clinical occurrence. We will discuss a case of papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum of the larynx that satisfies all the histologic criteria of this lesion. A review of the possible origins of this tumor will demonstrate that this case may lend support to the hypothesis that papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum may be the end result of a delayed hypersensitivity reaction.

SummaryAt operation for metastasizing carcinoma of the piriform sinus a patient was found to have two separate parotid tumors, one a pleomorphic adenoma and the other a papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumor). These tumors presented as palpable masses on the same side as a lymph node involved with carcinoma. Synchronous parotid tumors of different types are rare; previous reports in the literature show that this combination of pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor is the most common. We have found no previous report of multiple parotid neoplasms in a patient with coexistent squamous carcinoma of the head and neck.

Epithelial malignancy in a Warthin's tumor exists in three forms. The most common is a coexistent, separate neoplasm. Metastasis to the lymphoid component of Warthin's tumor follows, and the least common is a primary carcinoma arising from the ductal component of the tumor.
