Mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising in Warthin's tumor: a case report

Kavita Mardi et al. Indian J Pathol Microbiol. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

Malignant transformation of the epithelial component of Warthin's tumor is extremely rare. We describe our experience of mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising in Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland in a 35 year old female. The tumor removed from the parotid region was well encapsulated and histologically comprised ofmucoepidermoid carcinoma along with areas of Warthin's tumor. The pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of this rare occurrence have been discussed.
