Abstract

Warthin’s tumour was first adequately described in 1929 by an American pathologist, Aldred Scott Warthin. It is synonymous with papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (PCL), cystadenolymphoma or adenolymphoma. Giant salivary gland tumours are usually pleomorphic adenomas. The average size of Warthin’s tumour is reported to be about 2–4 cm. In the current fascinating case, an enormous disfiguring salivary gland tumour was reported which turned out to be Warthin’s tumour on histopathology, which is probably the largest PCL reported till date.
