I had trouble remembering that Warthin's tumor is "Papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum" and this happened.
Yes, feel the "Warth" (or maybe I'm just weird!)
Anyway, Warthin's tumor is a benign tumor localized to parotid gland.
The histology goes with the name -
Papillary: The cystic spaces have epithelium that protrude into them (papillary infoldings)
Cyst: Composed of cystic spaces (lined by double-layered eosinophilic epithelium)
Adenoma: It's a tumor of a gland, duh!
Lymphomatosum: Embedded in lymphoid stroma (with germinal center formation)
Other tumors will now be easy to remember (hopefully) -
Pleomorphic adenoma: The mixed up tumor with myxoid, epithelial cells & cartilage-like elements!
Mucoepidermoid tumor: The Malignant tumor!
Oncocytoma: Occurs in Old people!
Adenoid cystic carcinoma: Tends to infiltrate perineural spaces and causes pain. (This we'll have to remember, unless you submit us a mnemonic! =D )
That's all!
