Warthin's tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is a benign salivary gland tumor typically found in the parotid gland. It is characterized by a unique cystic structure lined by epithelial cells and associated with lymphoid tissue. Most commonly, it occurs in older adults, particularly males, and is often linked to smoking. While it is generally asymptomatic, it may cause swelling in the affected area and can be treated through surgical excision if necessary.
