Corpora Amylacea in Warthin’s Tumor: A Rare Histopathological Finding

Abstract

This case report presents a rare instance of Warthin’s tumor with presence of corpora amylacea. While Warthin’s tumor is a common benign neoplasm of the parotid gland, the occurrence of corpora amylacea is exceedingly rare. Histopathologically it is characterized by presence of double layered oncocytic epithelium within a papillary and cystic pattern, surrounded by lymphocytic germinal centres. This report aims to shed light on the histopathological characteristics, potential etiologies, and clinical significance of corpora amylacea in Warthin’s tumor.
