Warthin's tumor or cystadenolymphoma (CAL) is a benign salivary gland tumor occurring almost exclusively in the parotid gland. CALs of other locations are rare.
We report a laryngeal CAL detected in a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) performed for breast cancer follow-up. The tumor was successfully treated by transoral surgery.
Only 14 cases of laryngeal CAL are reported worldwide. These cases confirmed our experience of an uncomplicated and mostly successful transoral resection.
CALs of the larynx are very rare. They are characterized by hypermetabolism in PET/CT. The increasing use of PET/CT investigations in cancer patients could give rise to more incidental findings of CALs at unusual locations such as the larynx.
沃辛瘤或腺淋巴瘤(CAL)是一种几乎仅发生于腮腺的良性唾液腺肿瘤。其他部位的CAL罕见。
我们报告1例在为乳腺癌随访而行正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)检查时发现的喉部CAL。该肿瘤经经口手术成功治疗。
全球仅报道了14例喉部CAL。这些病例证实了我们经口切除手术简单且大多成功的经验。
喉部CAL非常罕见。它们在PET/CT中表现为代谢增高。癌症患者中PET/CT检查的日益增多可能会导致在诸如喉部等不寻常部位更多偶然发现CAL。
