title: [Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland].
abstract: The Authors report 6 cases of Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland recently observed. In all cases the tumor was intraglandular, single, and no noteworthy disorders or symptoms except for a 2 to 5 cms tumefaction were present. At surgery all lesions appeared well-capsulated and the exeresis followed a cleavage plane easily identifiable which enabled the preservation of the residual glandular tissue as well as the surrounding nervous and vascular structures. All the patients, up to now, are free from relapse.
