AbstractA rare variant of the cystadenoma of salivary gland origin is presented, which occurred in the parotid of a 36-year-old, otherwise healthy female patient. The tumour showed a dense follicle-containing lymphoid stroma, resembling papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). In contrast to that, the epithelial lining gave a more irregular impression and oncocytic metaplasia were completely absent. Light microscopic and immunohistochemical features of the tumour are described and compared with those of classical cystadenoma and papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). Other relevant multicystic epithelial parotid lesions, which are commonly associated with a prominent lymphoid component are discussed.

AbstractObjectives:To highlight the first reported case of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma of the parotid gland. We also review the clinical presentations and treatments for this rare condition.Method:Case report and review of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma.Results:A 48-year-old man presented with a right parotid mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology was suggestive of Warthin's tumour, for which the patient underwent a subtotal parotidectomy. The final histopathological diagnosis was necrobiotic xanthogranuloma.Conclusions:Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma may clinically mimic commoner tumours such as Warthin's tumour. Once diagnosed, the clinician should be wary of extracutaneous manifestations and paraproteinaemias. Because of the variability of presentation, there is no consensus on the best treatment for necrobiotic xanthogranuloma, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, interferon, plasmapheresis and radiation therapy.

Objectives: To determine whether cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is overexpressed in Warthin's tumours, and to characterize its pattern of expression.Methods: Twenty-one paraffin-embedded Warthin's tumour specimens were analysed by immunohistochemical staining for expression of human COX-2. Semi-quantitative analysis of the staining was performed.Results: In all of the specimens, we found that there was overexpression of COX-2 within the epithelial component of the tumours, with no expression in the lymphoid components. There was also overexpression of COX-2 in the salivary duct system of normal parotid tissue.Conclusions: Our results suggest that COX-2 is up-regulated in the epithelial component of Warthin's tumours. Our findings support the hypothesis that Warthin's tumours originate from heterotopic ductal epithelial cells of the parotid gland. The role of COX-2 expression in the pathogenesis of Warthin's tumours remains to be determined.

Warthin’S Tumour

A parotid gland abscess is uncommon and if not responding to conservative management, requires surgical intervention. However, surgery is invasive with the risk of complicating facial nerve damage and possible poor cosmetic outcome. We present a case of a parotid gland abscess in association with an underlying Warthin’s tumour requiring percutaneous drainage, as patient co-morbidity precluded a safe surgical approach. Percutaneous drainage was aided by a contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination, which permitted delineation of the fluid aspects of the collection from the underlying tumour and allowed successful percutaneous ultrasound-guided aspiration without complication.

It is rare for a parotid gland tumour to arise bilaterally, the most common example being Warthin’s tumour. Furthermore, it is rare for a parotid gland cancer to occur bilaterally. Here, we describe a case of synchronous bilateral mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising in the parotid gland. A case of bilateral facial nerve dysfunction is presented in which aggressive surgery failed to save the life of a 48-year-old man. This is the first such case reported in the available English literature.

Warthin’S Tumour

AbstractWarthin's tumour (also known as adenolymphoma or papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum) is benign and accounts for 12 per cent of all neoplasms of the parotid gland. A case of extra-parotid Warthin's tumour occurring synchronously in a peri-parotid lymph node is described. This is not a metastatic phenomenon and occurs as a result of salivary gland inclusions of local lymph nodes during the embryological development of the parotid. Extra-parotid Warthin's tumour should be regarded as a benign incidental finding and the prognosis is excellent.
