Purpose: To describe a case of Warthin tumor involving the lacrimal gland.
Methods: Case report. The patient underwent a lateral orbitotomy to remove a nodular lesion involving the lacrimal gland. The specimen was submitted for histopathologic examination.
Results: The lesion was characterized by epithelial columnar cells arranged in solid nests or lining cystic spaces containing an exudative fluid and by pronounced lymphoid infiltrate with focal follicular formation.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first case of Warthin tumor involving the lacrimal gland. Management requires complete excision of the lesion.
