Warthin's tumour (adenolymphoma) is a well defined salivary gland tumour which consists of epithelial and lymphoid components. However, the malignant transformation of adenolymphoma is extremely rare. We are reporting a case of squamous cell carcinoma which arose in a Warthin's tumour of the right parotid gland, to highlight its varied cytolomorphological features which can cause diagnostic problems on cytological examination. The review of the literature has been discussed.
沃辛瘤(腺淋巴瘤)是一种边界清晰的唾液腺肿瘤,由上皮和淋巴成分组成。然而,腺淋巴瘤的恶变极为罕见。我们报告一例发生于右侧腮腺沃辛瘤内的鳞状细胞癌病例,以突出其多样的细胞形态学特征,这些特征在细胞学检查时可能会导致诊断问题。文中还讨论了对文献的回顾。
