Warthin's tumor: Multicentricity and increasing incidence in women

摘要: Warthin's tumors comprised 14 percent of all parotid operated on. The average patient age in our series was 57.2 years. Eighty-seven the occurred tail. rest were deep lobe, or an extraparotid location. Fifteen patients had multifocal tumors. maximum number tumor foci one six. A significant increase female incidence noted with a 1.5:1 male-to-female ratio as compared previous male dominant 8:1. Eighty-two group smokers. We correlated very high cigarette smoking when age-matched groups both sexes within general population. Since it is estimated that eight will have disease, we suggest wider exposure and more meticulous operative exploration to avoid overlooked synchronous subsequent recurrence.
