[Complete regression of a Warthin's tumor following the aspiration cytopuncture].
This paper reports a rare case of a 69-year-old man bearing a right parotid lump, measuring near 5 cm diameter, which diagnosis resulted a Warthin's tumor. The used procedure to reach the diagnosis was aspiration through a fine needle. Two months after the laboratory diagnosis--so within the preoperative term--we can corroborate the clinical and radiological missing of the growth. Review and analysis of etiologic and pathogenic mechanisms.
