Abstract
Warthin tumor is a common and benign salivary gland tumor comprising of 2-15% of all epithelial tumors of the parotid gland. The extra-parotid presentation is seen to be rare at sites like the eyelid, caruncle, and the lacrimal gland. In this study, we have reported an extremely rare case of Warthin cyst of the lacrimal sac in an 82-year-old male patient with swelling over the medial canthal region since the past 2 years.
