Abstract

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to anatomically compare the morphometric measurements of intraparotid lymph nodes across different parotid gland tumors and a control group.

Study design: The study used retrospective images of patients admitted to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology over the past 10 years from the Radiology Department archive at Selçuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 160 individuals were included in our study.Long-axis diameter (LAD) and short-axis diameter (SAD) were measured in axial section on magnetic resonance images.

Results: In all patients, the mean SAD and LAD were significantly higher on the lesion (+) side compared to the lesion (-) side (P < .05). The mean SAD and LAD were significantly larger on the lesion (+) side compared to the control group (P < .05).

Conclusions: In our findings, if the SAD exceeded 3.51 mm and the LAD exceeded 4.85 mm in the control group, it can be considered suspicious in terms of lymph node abnormality, potential pathologic evaluation, and indications for further examination.

各种腮腺肿瘤中腮腺内淋巴结的磁共振解剖研究。

目的：本回顾性研究旨在解剖比较不同腮腺肿瘤与对照组的腮腺内淋巴结形态测量。研究设计：该研究使用了sel大学医学院医院放射科档案中过去10年来耳鼻喉科收治的患者的回顾性图像。我们的研究共纳入了160名个体。在mri轴向切片上测量长轴径（LAD）和短轴径（SAD）。结果：在所有患者中，病变（+）侧SAD和LAD的平均值明显高于病变（-）侧（P < 0.05）。与对照组相比，病变（+）侧的平均SAD和LAD显著增加（P < 0.05）。结论：在我们的研究中，如果对照组的SAD超过3.51 mm， LAD超过4.85 mm，则可以考虑淋巴结异常，潜在的病理评估和进一步检查的指征。

期刊介绍： Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
