: A Warthin tumor is a benign salivary gland neoplasm, mostly found in the parotid gland. The number of reported Warthin tumors has increased over the years due to better diagnostic modalities and health system modernization. Warthin tumor rarely transforms into a malignant tumor; in this work, we present all cases reported in the English literature of different types of lymphomas within Warthin tumors.

Purpose: BSND is a chloride channel subunit that is expressed in the normal salivary gland. We aimed to validate the utility of BSND immunohistochemistry in the differential diagnosis of oncocytic salivary gland neoplasms.
Methods: BSND immunohistochemistry was performed in a retrospective cohort of 93 salivary gland lesions, enriched with tumors with oncocytic features and histologic variants of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC).

Warthin tumor (WT) is the second most common benign parotid gland tumor after pleomorphic adenoma. WT is characterized by cystic and papillary proliferation of a two-layered oncocytic epithelium supported by lymphoid tissue. Heterotopic salivary duct inclusions (SDIs) are frequently observed in lymph nodes (LNs) of WT (SDI/LNs), and are thought to be the origin of WT.

: The number of patients diagnosed with Warthin tumors (WTs) has increased significantly in recent years. The association of obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) with the incidence of WTs remains unclear. This retrospective study aims to compare the BMI and other clinical factors of patients diagnosed with WTs to those with other benign epithelial parotid gland tumors.
