Description
Summary:A 52-year-old patient underwent excision of a parotid lump which was fond to consist of a Warthin's tumor coexistent with a lymph node involved in dermatopathic lymphadenopathy. A preoperative fine-needle aspiration specimen contained brown pigment-granule-laden macrophages within the background of many lymphocytes. Failure to correctly diagnose the parotid tumor was likely due to a sampling error.
