Warthin's tumor (papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum) is a rare benign tumor of the salivary glands. This tumor consists of histologic components, one epithelial, the other lymphoid.This report concerns two cases of Warthin's tumor. The first case was an 18 year old female who first noted a small lump near the left angle of the mandible. The lump was removed and was histologically demonstrated to be Warthin's tumor. The second case concerned a 67 year old male who first noted a lump near the left angle of the mandible and a swelling in the nasopharyngeal region. The tumor was diagnosed as an epipharynx malignancy with left neck metastasis and radiation therapy of 1200 rads was given, when this tumor proved to be benign, the neck tumor and epipharynx tumor were removed and were histologically demonstrated to be Warthin's tumor for the former and the oncocytoid tumor for the latter.Reports of papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum in Japan were reviewed and histogenesis of this tumor was discussed.
