Abstract

Although sialolithiasis is the most common submandibular gland pathology, a Warthin tumor arising from the submandibular gland is rare. In this article, we report a 63-year-old male patient with a swollen right submandibular region, erythematous, and a fistulous area from which a cutaneous fistula with seropurulent exudates located at the submandibular region. Ultrasound revealed a stone and, therefore, sialoadenectomy and excision of the fistulous tract were performed. Besides the sialolith, the pathological examination revealed a Warthin tumor.
