Warthin tumor is the second most common benign tumor of salivary glands. Here we present an interesting case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from the Warthin tumor in the cervical lymph node. The patient had another Warthin tumor in the parotid gland as well. Both the malignant transformation of Warthin tumor and the heterotopic occurrence of Warthin tumor in the cervical lymph node are rare. This exceptionally rare case demonstrates that the 2 rare clinical entities can occur simultaneously and affect clinical decisions.
沃辛瘤是涎腺第二常见的良性肿瘤。在此，我们报告一例源于颈部淋巴结沃辛瘤的鳞状细胞癌的有趣病例。该患者腮腺还有另一例沃辛瘤。沃辛瘤的恶性转化以及颈部淋巴结沃辛瘤的异位发生均较为罕见。这一极其罕见的病例表明，这两种罕见的临床情况可同时出现并影响临床决策。
