Warthin's tumor. Report of a case and survey of 205 salivary neoplasms.

A case of Warthin's tumor with an unusual sialographic appearance is reported. The extensive pooling of the contrast media within the tumor was probably the result of communication of the cystic spaces of the tumor with the ductal system of the parotid gland. This case stimulated a re-examination of the incidence of this tumor, with a study of 205 major salivary gland tumors from pathology reports in the files of Hartford Hospital which is affiliated with the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, Connecticut.
