Papillary Cystadenoma of the Maxillary Paranasal Sinus (Atypical Warthin Tumor)

Nasal Septum Warthin's Tumor: A Unique Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Sites of origin in the sinonasal tract conform to the density and distribution of the seromucous glands and are most often nasal (septum and turbinates) or ostia. 9 In 1953, Struthers et al 10 described a lesion of the maxillary sinus having histologic similarities with WT and defining it as an "atypical" WT due to the paucity of lymphoid stroma. In fact, since the first description by Warthin in 1929, specific histologic features have generally been accepted as mandatory for the diagnosis of cystadenolymphoma.…”

Incidence of Non-Salivary Gland Neoplasms in Patients with Warthin Tumor: A Study of 73 Cases

“…It most commonly occurs during the fifth to seventh decades, and is quite uncommon before the third decade [1]. Most cases occur in the parotid gland, however rare cases have been reported in the lip, tonsil, maxillary sinus, cervical lymph nodes, larynx, palate, and submandibular gland [2][3][4][5]. Warthin tumor is commonly seen in smokers, and presentation as a bilateral/ multifocal tumor is an additional characteristic feature [6].…”

Nasopharyngeal Warthin's tumour: A metaplastic lesion

“…Rarely, Warthin's tumours have been reported arising in the submandibular gland (Kukreja and Jain, 1971), upper and lower lips (Peruzzo, 1952;Veronesi and Corbetta, 1960), buccal mucosa (Hart and Andrews, 1968;Baden et al, 1976;Friedlander and Thorn, 1977;Kerpel etal, 1978;Friedmann, 1986), palate (Hendrick, 1964;Fantasia and Miller, 1981), oropharynx (Stout, 1946;Vellios and Shafer, 1959;Singh, 1966) nasopharyngeal space (Friedmann, 1953), nasal cavity (Struthers et al, 1954;Rauch et al, 1970), maxillary sinus (Struthers et al, 1954), larynx (M0ller and 0rntoft, 1965;Steglich-Petersen, 1966;Donald and Krause, 1973;Foulsham et al, 1981), lacrimal (Rauch et al, 1970) and sweat glands (Bergholz et al, 1980). The histogenesis of both parotid and extraparotid types of Warthin's tumour is still controversial (Baden etal, 1976;Batsakis and Regezi, 1978;Batsakis, 1979;Shugar et al, 1982;Chapnik, 1983).…”
