Abstract
A case of eosinophilic papillary cystadenoma of the larynx is reported. Its similarity to the salivary gland tumour papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Whartin's tumour), syn. adenolymphoma, is pointed out. The reported cases of eosinophilic glandular tumours of the larynx are reviewed, the nomenclature is listed, and the justification of distinguishing them from non-eosinophilic glandular tumours of the larynx is discussed. The occurrence of oncocytes in the normal laryngeal mucosa and in the eosinophilic tumours of the larynx is mentioned.
