Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinico-pathological findings of Warthin's tumors.
Subjects and methods: Twenty cases of Warthin's tumors treated at our clinic during the past 22 years and their medical charts and imaging films were reviewed.
Results: Warthin's tumors occurred more frequently in middle-aged or elderly men than in women. Solitary tumors were significantly larger (p < 0.05) than multiple tumors. Warthin's tumors that accumulated 99mTc were significantly larger (p < 0.05) than those that did not. In addition, there was no difference in clinical findings between the two histopathologic types of Warthin's tumors.
Conclusion: The frequent occurrence of multiple Warthin's tumors indicated the importance of an accurate clinical and radiological examination of parotid glands, in order to detect possible multiple lesions prior to treatment.
