Warthin's tumor is one of the benign tumors of major salivary glands. It was mostly found in parotid glands of male patients in their sixties. Warthin's tumor with extraparotid location is rare. We here report a 65-year-old male patient with a movable mass about 25 x 20 x 15 mm over his leftjugular-digastric area. The fibroscopic examination found no malignancy over the head and neck region. Computed tomographic scan showed a soft tissue mass about 18 mm in diameter in the left upper neck. The mass was not in connection with the parotid gland or the submandibular gland and was excised completely through a transverse neck incision. Histopathologic examination revealed Warthin's tumor. We present an original report of a case of Warthin's tumor with its unusual extraparotid location.
