Abstract

Warthin's tumor constitute a minority of salivary gland neoplasms. It is a monomorphic adenoma commonly involving the parotid gland and considered to be unique because of its histological appearance, unknown origin and pathogenesis. Large, bilateral Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland is clinically very rare. We are reporting the case of a patient having synchronous bilateral Warthin's tumor with co -morbidities and operated for bilateral parotidectomy in a single sitting; which is very exceptional.
