Parotid gland incidentalomas: A single-institution experience
2022, American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and SurgeryCitation Excerpt :In our study, lung cancer was also the most common indication for PET/CT in patients who received this modality for index imaging. Given that lung cancer patients often have extensive smoking history, it is likely that these PET/CT studies reported a greater number of comorbid Warthin's tumor, a condition also strongly associated with smoking [19–21]. Additionally, Warthin's tumors have markedly high FDG uptake, making them more likely to be detected on PET/CT [13,14].
The significance of mucinous metaplasia in Warthin tumor: a frequent occurrence and potential pitfall
2020, Human PathologyCitation Excerpt :Warthin tumor (WT) is the second most common benign salivary gland tumor and occurs almost exclusively in the parotid gland. It has a strong association with smoking [1–3]. Historically, this tumor is more common in older men, but the incidence in women has increased recently likely owing to changes in gender differences in smoking behavior [4,5].
A multicentre retrospective clinico-histopathological review of 250 patients after parotidectomy
2020, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :This finding concerning pleomorphic adenoma is at the low end of normal2,3; however Drivas et al. reported an even lower prevalence of 44.2%6. Smoking was identified as a risk factor for Warthin tumour (P < 0.0005), with the tumours mainly localized in the parotid tail (P < 0.0005), in accordance with other studies16–18. In regard to malignancies, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma was most frequently identified, with a prevalence of 3.6%, followed by acinic cell carcinoma (2.4%) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (2.0%).
