The validity of Seifert's hypothesis about growth pattern of adenolymphomas has been evaluated in three of five patients with adenolymphomas of the parotid gland, who at the time of a parotidectomy, were found to have multiple unilateral adenolymphomas in the intraglandular lymph nodes. This evaluation, which was based on assessing the epithelial: lymphoid tissue ratio in excised adenolymphomas and the growth in tumor size, showed that there was no association between the histological changes in the epithelial:lymphoid tissue and the tumor size. Adenolymphomas seem to have no consistent growth pattern and develop independently. However, as multiple tumors were detected histopathologically in lymph nodes as small as 5 mm in diameter the importance of a detailed examination of patients with adenolymphomas is stressed, so that other tumours are not overlooked.
