| Summary: | ABSTRACT
Warthin’s tumour (adenolymphoma) is a well defined salivary
gland tumour which consists of epithelial and lymphoid components. However, the malignant transformation of adenolymphoma is extremely rare. We are reporting a case of squamous cell
carcinoma which arose in a Warthin’s tumour of the right parotid
gland, to highlight its varied cytolomorphological features which
can cause diagnostic problems on cytological examination. The
review of the literature has been discussed. |
