Long-Term Outcomes of Radiofrequency Ablation for Treatment of Cystic Warthin Tumors versus Solid Warthin Tumors

Abstract: Background: To describe the long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of parotid Warthin tumors that have different consistencies and locations. Methods: We reviewed ten patients with Warthin tumors undergoing RFA treatment from 2016 to 2019. The mean follow-up was 24.3 ± 13.1 months (range 7–42 months). Results: RFA was performed on 11 tumors in ten patients. Cystic tumors (n = 4) had better volume reduction ratios (VRR) than solid tumors (n = 7) at month one and month six, following RFA (77.9% vs. … Show more

“…In a Taiwan center with RFA Warthin's tumor done on 11 tumors on 10 patients with a mean follow-up of 24.3 ± 13.1 months, it was commented that cystic tumors fared better than their solid counterparts with a more profound volume reduction ratio at 1 month and 6 months following RFA (77.9% vs 47.3%, 95.1% vs 80.6%, tively, p = .003). 24,28 In this study, we did not systematically document the cystic and solid proportions within the tumor. There were 2 patients who were predominantly cystic being >90% and with aspiration done prior to receiving RFA.…”
