Video Summary
Warthin tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is a benign tumor that most commonly occurs in the parotid gland, a salivary gland located in the cheek. It is characterized by a cystic structure lined by tall columnar epithelium with lymphoid stroma, and typically presents as a slow-growing, painless mass. Treatment is generally surgical removal of the tumor, and the prognosis is excellent as the tumor is typically benign and does not tend to recur after removal.
