title: Synchronous parotid and nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Warthin tumor is the second most common benign salivary gland neoplasm after pleomorphic adenoma. Warthin tumors occur almost exclusively in the parotid gland and periparotid lymph nodes, extraparotid localization is rare.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We describe a case of a patient presenting with a synchronous unilateral parotid gland and nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We propose that, although this occurrence of a synchronous parotid gland and nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor may be coincidental, it is more likely to be an effect of a systemic factor.
