METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with Warthin\'s tumour based on histology between 2005 and 2020. Additionally, a systematic review (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (\'PROSPERO\') registration number: CRD42022326846) was performed using PubMed and the Cochrane Library.
RESULTS: Among 290 patients diagnosed with Warthin\'s tumours based on histology following surgery, 24.5 per cent had bilateral Warthin\'s tumours. The systematic review identified 157 papers, with 14 meeting the inclusion criteria.
CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that 24.5 per cent of patients had bilateral Warthin\'s tumours, deviating from the suggested range. These findings are of interest to surgeons discussing the disease with patients.
方法:对2005年至2020年诊断为Warthin肿瘤的患者进行回顾性分析。此外,使用PubMed和Cochrane图书馆进行了系统评价(国际前瞻性系统评价登记册(\'PROSPERO\')注册号:CRD420223226846)。
结果:在手术后根据组织学诊断为Warthin肿瘤的290例患者中,24.5%患有双侧Warthin肿瘤。系统审查确定了157篇论文,14人符合纳入标准。
结论:这项研究显示,24.5%的患者患有双侧Warthin肿瘤,偏离建议范围。这些发现对外科医生与患者讨论该疾病很有兴趣。
