title: Warthin tumor of the lacrimal gland.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of Warthin tumor involving the lacrimal gland.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report. The patient underwent a lateral orbitotomy to remove a nodular lesion involving the lacrimal gland. The specimen was submitted for histopathologic examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The lesion was characterized by epithelial columnar cells arranged in solid nests or lining cystic spaces containing an exudative fluid and by pronounced lymphoid infiltrate with focal follicular formation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To our knowledge, this is the first case of Warthin tumor involving the lacrimal gland. Management requires complete excision of the lesion.
