title: Luminal epithelium of Warthin's tumours: a scanning electron microscopic study.
abstract: Three cases of papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum were examined by light and scanning electron microscope to declare the morphology of the luminal epithelial surface. It was found that ciliated cells were present in one case. This finding explains the origin of ciliated cells as a development included in the neighbouring lymph node with a tendency of metaplastic change and exfoliation.
