FNAC induced histological changes in Warthin tumor mimicking as cancer
<p>Warthin tumor is the second most common salivary gland tumor affecting male in 6<sup>th</sup> to 7<sup>th</sup> decade of life. It can grow in peri- parotid or cervical lymph nodes too. Preoperative FNAC procedure can induce partial to near total infarction and metap...
