Abstract
We present a rare case of a Warthin's tumor with a skin ulcer. A 98-year-old man was diagnosed with a Warthin's tumor five years ago, and was observed because of his old age. After this, ulceration of overlying skin occurred due to the influence of frequent aspiration of the tumor. Skin disintegration due to a benign tumor is very rare. Skin ulceration of a Warthin's tumor is presumed to occur from an enlargement of the neoplasm, trauma to the skin, and such things as infection or poor nutritional condition. Although a Warthin's tumor is a benign tumor, we must diagnose it and make proper decisions with regard to careful treatment once it is ulcerated.
