[Multiple bilateral lymphatic adenomas of the parotid glands].

Introduction: Multiple primary tumours of the parotid glands are very rare. They may occur unilaterally or bilaterally, synchronously or metachronously. Whartin's tumour is mostly find in bilateral parotid gland tumours.

Material And Methods: The authors present an unusual case of 60 years old man with bilateral, multifocal Whartin's tumour of the parotid glands. The tumours have appeared synchronously two years before the diagnosis was done. We performed bilateral superficial partial parotidectomy with removal of the tumours.

Results And Conclusion: The multifocal, synchronous bilateral Whartin's tumours of the parotid glands are very rare. Minimal surgery procedures with tumour excision is the method of choice. The recurrence rate is very low.
