    Abstract:
    Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) associated with Warthin tumor (WT) is extremely rare, accounting for only 3 cases of classical HLs. Here, we report for the first time the occurrence of a nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) involving the lymphoid stroma of a WT of the parotid gland. Pathogenesis of WT is controversial, with both a nodal and a parenchymal possible origin. On the other hand, extranodal involvement by HLs is uncommon. In our case, the coexistence of a WT and of a NLPHL within its stroma and in cervical lymph node emphasizes the importance of a careful evaluation of the lymphoid tissue in WT in order to exclude the possibility of an associated lymphoid malignancy.
