We have studied 8 patients with Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland (WT). Seven of them were men and smoked more than a packet daily. Seven were operated with conservative superficial parotidectomy and the other one with total parotidectomy with facial preservation. Two had postoperative peripheral facial paresia which disappeared with medical treatment in few days. One of the operated suffered from postoperative Frey's syndrome.
