==Microscopic Pathology==
* The appearance of this tumor under the microscope is unique.  There are [[cystic]] spaces surrounded by two uniform rows of [[cell (biology)|cells]] with centrally placed pyknotic [[cell nucleus|nuclei]].
* The [[cystic]] spaces have [[epithelium]] referred to as [[papillary]] infoldings that protude into them. Additionally, the [[epithelium]] has [[Stroma|lymphoid stroma]] with [[germinal center]] formation.
* [[Papillae]] (nipple-shaped structures) with a two rows of pink ([[eosinophilic]]) [[epithelial cells]] (with cuboidal [[Basal cell|basal cells]] and columnar luminal cells)
* Fibrous capsule - pink & [[homogenous]] on H&E stain
* Cystic space filled with debris in situ (not [[necrosis]])
* [[Lymphoid]] [[stroma]]
* Additionally, the [[epithelium]] has lymphoid [[stroma]] with [[germinal center]] formation.<ref>Warthin's tumor librepathology (2015) http://librepathology.org/wiki/index.php/Warthin_tumour Accessed on December 14, 2015</ref>

Overview

On biopsy, Warthin's tumor is characterized by cystic spaces surrounded by two uniform rows of cells with centrally placed pyknotic nuclei, papillae with a two rows of pink epithelial cells, and lymphoid stroma.

Biopsy

Salivary gland biopsy is the most important test for diagnosis of Warthin's tumor.
