Abstract

Background: The parotid gland is the mostly affected site among major salivary gland tumors in up to 85% of cases. Preoperative knowledge of the tumour nature is crucial since it influences the surgical procedure and patient's morbidity, especially the risk of facial nerve palsy. Ultrasonography is commonly used as the first line imaging modality for the salivary gland lesions. A pitfall is that the histologic pleomorphism often reflects an imaging pleomorphism.

Case report: HEREIN WE AIMED TO PRESENT THE ROLE OF ELASTOSONOGRAPHY IN THREE PAROTID LESIONS: a case of benign pleomorphic adenoma, a Wharthin's tumour and a malignant parotid tumour.

Conclusions: Our findings show that malignant parotid lesion was the stiffest lesion according to elastosonography. Wharthin's tumour demonstrated soft elastosonographic features. The pleomorphic adenoma was also interpreted as stiff by elastosonography suggesting that the elastosonographic features of pleomorphic adenoma may resemble those of malignant lesions limiting the utility of the technique.

弹性超声在腮腺病变鉴别中的作用:附三例报告并文献复习。

背景:腮腺是主要涎腺肿瘤的主要受累部位，高达85%。术前对肿瘤性质的了解是至关重要的，因为它会影响手术过程和患者的发病率，尤其是面神经麻痹的风险。超声检查通常被用作唾液腺病变的一线成像方式。一个缺陷是组织学上的多形性往往反映了影像学上的多形性。病例报告:我们在此报告弹性超声在三个腮腺病变中的作用:一个良性多形性腺瘤，一个沃氏瘤和一个恶性腮腺肿瘤。结论:恶性腮腺病变是弹性超声检查中最硬的病变。沃辛肿瘤表现出软弹性超声特征。多形性腺瘤也被弹性超声解释为僵硬，这表明多形性腺瘤的弹性超声特征可能与恶性病变相似，限制了该技术的应用。
