We systematically reviewed the literature on the co-occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and Warthin's tumor (WT), thought to be quite rare, to help reduce misdiagnosis and improve treatment planning.

Of the 237 studies identified, 12 comprising 18 patients met the inclusion criteria, to which we added one study from our institution.
