ABSTRACT

Warthin’s tumor is common benign tumor of the parotid gland. This tumor is well encapsulated, different from pleomorphic adenoma which has pseudopods, and easily cured by simple tumor excision. Because Warthin’s tumor is composed of oncocytes, it generally accumulates of technetium 99m (Tc-99m) pertechnetate in a radionuclide scan. Scintigraphy with 99mTc-pertechnetate is used for the differential diagnosis. But authors have recently experienced a case of no visible hot accumulation of 99mTc-pertechnetate in a 67-year-old man with multicentric and bilateral Warthin’s tumor.
