“…Approximately 80% of parotid lesions are benign, and approximately 20% are malignant . The most common of the benign tumors include pleomorphic adenoma (59%) and Warthin tumor (22%) . Although pleomorphic adenoma affects predominantly females (60%), Warthin tumors are found more often in males than in females .…”

According to our results, real-time strain sonoelastography seems to have additional value over routine sonographic evaluation of parotid gland tumors in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant parotid masses. However, with a small sample of malignant cases and appreciable overlap of the stiffness of benign and malignant masses, caution must be applied because the findings may not be representative of all patients with a parotid gland tumor.

“…Swelling of the parotid region was the most frequent reason for consultation in all patients (100%) in our series, associated in rare cases with peripheral facial paralysis in 3 patients (9.67%). Several series have also shown that swelling of the parotid region was the main symptom [16] [17] [18]. Clinical examination pro-vides evidence of benignity (firm, mobile, painless) or malignancy (fixed, painful, adenopathies) [19].…”

Introduction: The parotid tumors are benign or malignant, primary or secondary neoformations developed at the expense of the parotid gland. The aim of the present study was to describe the indications and results of parotidectomies in the ENT department of the Idrissa Pouye General Hospital in Dakar. Patients & Methods: We conducted a retrospective study between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2012, including all patients who had been consulted for a parotid tumor with or without histological evidence collected in the otolaryngology and anatomy-pathology department of the Idrissa Pouye General Hospital in Dakar. Results: We collected 31 patient files. The mean age was 47.45 years, with extremes of 16 and 74 years. Females predominated, with a sex ratio of 0.82. Swelling of the parotid region was the main reason for consultation in 100% of cases. Parotidectomy was the most frequently performed procedure, accounting for 41.93%. Benign tumors accounted for 72% of cases, the majority being pleomorphic adenomas (50%). The outcome was favorable in 67.74% of cases. Conclusion: Management of parotid tumors at HOGIP would be improved by informing and educating patients to consult early, and by upgrading the technical platform.

Objective The aims of this study are to evaluate the utility of sonoelastography for parotid gland masses and to determine which cutoff strain ratio (SR) would be best for the differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. Methods From August 2015 to December 2016, 39 parotid gland masses were examined prospectively by ultrasonography and strain sonoelastography. Elastographic scores were determined by a 4-point scoring method. Interventional procedures were performed on all patients after sonographic examinations. The lesions were divided into groups as benign or malignant according to histopathological findings. The difference in elastographic scores between benign and malignant masses was evaluated. Results Among the 39 parotid gland masses, 33 (84.6%) were benign and 6 (15.3%) were malignant tumors with 53.8% (n = 21) of the lesions being on the right side. Pleomorphic adenoma (41%) was the most common neoplasm followed by Warthin tumor (28.2%). The median elastographic score was 2 (range, 1–3) for benign tumors, and it was 3 (range, 2–4) (P = 0.003) for malignant tumors. Median SR was 1.11 (range, 0.26–2.15), and it was 2.75 (range, 1.03–3.54) (P = 0.01) for benign and malignant tumors. In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the cutoff value of the SR was 2.1, sensitivity was 83.3%, specificity was 97%, positive predictive value was 83.3%, negative predictive value was 97%, and accuracy was 94%. Conclusions There was a statistically significant difference between benign lesions and malignant lesions in both elastography score and SR. It is possible that elastography can improve the noninvasive diagnostic accuracy for certain pathological conditions.
