Initially described by Hildebrand in 1895, Warthin tumor (also known as cystadenolymphoma) is a benign and frequent salivary gland neoplasm. It represents about 2% to 15% of all primary epithelial tumors of the parotid gland. Extra-parotid Warthin tumors are rare and may occur in the periparotid lymph node, nasopharynx, eyelid, and oral cavity. Warthin tumor is histologically characterized by a dense lymphoid stroma and a double layer of oncocytic epithelium with a papillary and cystic architectural pattern (see Warthin Tumor, H&E ×40). Its etiology remains controversial.
沃辛瘤最初由希尔德布兰德于1895年描述,又称腺淋巴瘤,是一种常见的良性唾液腺肿瘤。它约占腮腺所有原发性上皮性肿瘤的2%至15%。腮腺外沃辛瘤罕见,可发生于腮腺周围淋巴结、鼻咽、眼睑和口腔。沃辛瘤的组织学特征是密集的淋巴样间质和双层嗜酸性上皮,呈乳头状和囊性结构模式(见图,沃辛瘤,苏木精-伊红染色×40)。其病因仍存在争议。
