| Abstrakt: | Warthin's tumor, also known as adenolymphoma or papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is a benign tumor almost exclusively found in the parotid gland and is the second most common type of benign parotid tumor. Its manifestation as an extraparotid lesion is rare, with a low incidence in the submandibular gland. In this context, we present a case of Warthin's tumor of the submandibular gland in a 66-year-old man who presented with a painless lateral cystic cervical mass. This case highlights the clinical and radiological evidence of an uncommon extraparotid tumor location, with the diagnosis becoming evident only after the enucleation of the mass. Despite the rarity of extraparotid Warthin's tumor and its potential variation in location, the authors recommend considering Warthin's tumor of the submandibular gland in the differential when assessing lateral cervical masses.
