Rare Synchronous Nasopharyngeal and Cervical Lymph Node Warthin's Tumors: First Report of a Case Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Warthin tumor (WT) occurs almost exclusively in the parotid gland and peri-parotideal lymph nodes. Rare extra-parotid WT have been mainly localised in the submandibular gland, periparotid region and rarely in other sites, such as the oral cavity, tongue, lip, cheek, hard palate and nasopharynx. These tumours can be bilateral and multifocal and rarely synchronous in exceptional cases. A few cases of synchronous nasopharyngeal and parotid warthin tumors have been reported We report the first synchronous case of Nasopharyngeal and cervical lymph node WT in 63 year old female who presented with swelling left side neck and change in the quality of voice. Both FNA of the right cervical lymph node and biopsy of the nasopharyngeal mass revealed features of Warthinstumor.
