“…6 Sadahira et al considered that malnutrition, the recumbent position, or minor trauma could all have been causative factors for ulcer formation. 9 Fine needle aspiration can cause metaplastic change, necrosis, fibrosis, and inflammatory change in Warthin tumor which has been documented by Di Palma and his colleagues. 13 Hirotaka Shinomiya et al and Park et al suggested that FNA may cause skin trauma and inflammation, resulting in skin ulceration when the tumor enlarges.…”

Warthin tumor with ulceration of the surrounding skin is extremely rare, making it difficult to differentiate from parotid cancer in the clinical setting. We report a 65-year-old man with a Warthin tumor in the right parotid gland that had ulceration of the overlying skin. The patient presented with right upper neck mass 2 years ago. Ultrasound and fine needle aspiration were done, and Warthin tumor was suspected. One year later, the mass was enlarged with ulceration of the skin. Superficial parotidectomy with fusiform excision of the skin was performed, and histopathological diagnosis revealed a Warthin tumor with inflammatory change. We proposed that this unique manifestation may have been induced by fine needle aspiration, enlargement of the tumor, and ischemic changes secondary to pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
