“…Most of them (80%) are located in the parotid gland, 14% in the submandibular gland and the rest in the sublingual glands and minor SGs. 1 In Europe, Africa and Asia, B-mode greyscale sonography (GSS) is widely accepted as the first choice diagnostic procedure to evaluate the morphology of an SG mass, but it is underused in North America where MRI is almost always the only technique used in cases where a neoplastic enlargement of a SG is suspected. [1][2][3][4][5] Colour Doppler sonography (CDS) can detect the number and distribution of blood vessels in various SG tumours.…”

“…A malignant salivary gland tumour typically shows ill-defined border with heterogeneous aspect (internal necrosis,cystic change and the presence of calcifications) [21]. Doppler shows hyper vascular tumour with increased resistance indices (RI > 0.8 and a PI > 2) [21]. In this regard, all of the above, highly suspicious for malignancy, were detected in our patient's tumor description, such as ill defined borders, hypervascularity with RI of 1 and PI of 2.6 and a heterogeneous echostructure hereby calcifications.…”

The aim of this paper was to present the ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) appearance of a patient with salivary duct carcinoma of the parotid gland. US showed a voluminous mass of the parotid gland, with multiple calcifications. Furthermore, it revealed regional multiple lymph nodes with malignant characters. Sonoelastography of the lesion and lymph nodes detected increased rigidity. Contrast enhanced CT scan of the neck completed the data description regarding the mass expansion and invasion of surrounding tissues. US and CT imaging features played a key role in establishing the malignant character of the mass and lymph nodes.

“…However, few of the malignant tumors had sharp borders. [15] Most of these were lymphomas or metastases in which the clinical diagnosis was often clear. The detection of enlarged ipsilateral cervical lymph nodes suggests a malignant lesion.…”

patients with suspected inflammation or tumors of the major salivary glands were examined by high resolution real-time sonography. Sonographic characteristic of these lesions, including shape, margin, echogenicity, echotexture and vascularization, were studied. Presumed sonographic diagnosis was compared with the histopathology. Patients with periglandular pathology not involving salivary gland were excluded from study. RESULT: Out of 62 patients, 23(37.09%) had salivary gland tumors (16 benign, 7 malignant), 22(35.4%) had acute sialadenitis, 8(12.9%) chronic sialadenitis, 1(1.6%) lymphadenitis, 8(12.9%) patients had sialolithiasis, 3(4.8%) patients had abscess, 3(4.8%) fatty infiltration. Few patients had more than one pathologies. CONCLUSION: Inflammation is the most common pathology affecting salivary gland (48.3%). In acute inflammation, sonography helps to confirm or rule out abscesses or sialectasia. Salivary calculi can be diagnosed in most cases by sonography and sonography is a valuable primary evaluation for the visualization of salivary gland tumors. Ultrasound is able to distinguish benign from malignant tumors in 87% of cases. Tumor cannot be delineated completely by means of sonography, for which a CT or MRI should be performed.
