However, histologic analysis of the mass identified it as a
Warthin's tumor (figure 1).

A sharply demarcated thin capsule surrounds
Warthin's tumor and there may be extensive fibrosis at the periphery [10].
Oncocytomas and
Warthin's tumors have very similar features on imaging and therefore are very difficult to differentiate [19].
Another point to highlight is that what prompted us to test for antibodies was not only the atypical presentation of psychosis in an elderly patient but also the past history of
Warthin's tumor which has been found to be associated with autoimmune disorders in some cases.

Two cases reported as pleomorphic adenoma and
Warthin's tumor on FNAC turn to malignant mixed tumour and low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma, respectively, on histopathological examination.
