SUMMARY Warthin’s tumor is the second most common benign neoplasm of the parotid. Most of cases are represented by a single localization, while only a small percentage of patients presents bilateral lesions or unilateral multifocal pattern. Warthin’s tumor has an excellent prognosis due to the low rate of recurrence after surgical treatment. Malignant transformation oc- curs in less than 1% of cases. The aim of this article is to present two unusual cases of Warthin’s tumor and an updated review of the latest scientific literature.
