Results: 54.90% of patients were aged 61 to 80 years old, 47.06% of tumor diameter were less than 2cm, 39.22% of patients were overweight, 3.92% of patients were smokers, and 88.24% of patients were exposed to second-hand smoke. Conclusion: Female Warthin tumors mainly occur in elderly patients over 60 years old. Most of the tumors are less than 2cm in the diameter. Most of the patients do not smoke, but have second-hand smoke exposure history, which can be emphasized in prevention and clinical work.
