Synchronous thyroid and parotid tumors are rarely noted in literature. There are case reports with thyroid carcinoma with parotid metastasis. In this article we present a rare case of follicular thyroid carcinoma in a 62-year-old gentleman with a synchronous right sided Warthin’s tumor. Synchronous follicular thyroid carcinoma with a Warthin’s salivary tumor is a unique presentation and has not been reported in literature before to the best of our knowledge. The surgical management of such cases, particularly in a single sitting may prove challenging in terms of incision planning and execution and head and neck surgeons should be prepared for versatile surgical planning and postoperative care.
