High-Yield Explanation
Wahin tumour, or papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is the second most common benign parotid tumour and occurs most often in older white men. Because of the high mitochondrial content within oncocytes, the oncocyte-rich Wahin tumour and oncocytomas incorporate technetium-99m and appear as hot spots on radionuclide scans.Ref: Sabiston, 20e, page no: 830
