Abstract
Twenty-eight examples of papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin' s tumour) of the parotid gland were analysed by high-resolution DNA fl ow cytometry. The mean coefficient of variation was found to be 1.19% (SD: 0.41). All tumours were DNA diploid. These results did not corres pond with expected deviations based on published chromosomal studies. Also, the homogeneously low S-phase fractions (mean: 4.8%; SD: 2.7) fo und did not support the hypothesis of etiologically distinctive subgro ups in these tumours.
