Warthin’s tumor of parotid gland which also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum or adenolymphoma is extremely rare in black and orientals.

This rare benign tumor occurs predominently in middle-aged white males with 10 per cent incidence of bilaterality and is characterized by its specific histopathological appearance and ability to concentrate the radioisotope Technetium-99m. Recently, we have experienced a case of Warthin’s tumor of bilateral parotid gland in a 48 year-old-male patient, and report with review of literature.
