* Approximate volume = 3.14 × radius × radius × length of specimen notch or throw × number of passes.
† Of 53 cases, only one Warthin tumor was associated with hematoma.
‡ Including adenoid cystic, lymphoepithelioma–like, mucoepidermoid, and squamous cell carcinomas (one each).
§ Pathologic diagnoses were concordant between biopsy and surgery in all patients except this one. Clear cell carcinoma was found on surgicopathology.
