Recent studies have documented a number of changing demographic features in the occurrence of Warthin's tumour (adenolymphoma) of the parotid gland. In order to analyse its epidemiology in an Asian population, a retrospective study was performed on all parotid neoplasms (n = 289) operated on between 1988 and 1998. Patients and methods: A total of 209 consecutive patients were selected for study, 136 with pleomorphic adenomas (one bilateral) and 73 with Warthin's tumours (seven bilateral). Patients were analysed with regard to tumour incidence, age, sex and race. Smoking as an aetiological factor in the development of Warthin's tumour was also studied.
