Abstract

Warthin’s tumor WT is a benign salivary gland neoplasm consisting of both epithelial and lymphoid components. Metastasis of an squamous cell carcinoma SCC to WT is extremely rare and the differential diagnosis of malignant transformation is important. We present a case with SCC metastatic to the WT of parotid gland in a 71- year-old male patient.

Tümörden Tümöre Metastaz: Warthin Tümöründe Kutanöz Yassı Hücreli Karsinom

Abstract

Warthin tümörü WT , hem epitel ve lenfoid bileşenden oluşan iyi huylu bir tükürük bezi tümörüdür. WT'ne skuamöz hücrelikarsinom SHK metastazı son derece nadirdir ve ayırıcı tanısında malign transformasyon önemlidir. Biz, 71- yaşındaki erkek hastada parotis bezinin WT'ne metastaz yapmış SHK olgusunu sunuyoruz.
