Background: Ultrasonography is considered as the primary imaging technique used for identification, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of lesions affecting the major salivary gland. Both grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound maneuvers are frequently used for assessment of various salivary gland infirmities. As well, it is used for classification of the major salivary gland pathologies. This study aimed to assess the validity of ultrasound in the diagnosis and prediction of the parotid and submandibular gland lesions. Patients and Methods: Sixty-nine cases with salivary gland masses were investigated via using grey scale, color Doppler and spectral Doppler. Grey scale was used for the morphological features of each tumor; color Doppler for the blood vessel distribution and frequency; and spectral Doppler for determination of the peak systolic velocity, resistive index and pulsatility index. Postoperative through histopathological examination was carried out for all cases after excision of mass. Results: According to the histopathological examination, 28 of 69 (40.6%) lesions were identified as benign, 13 of 69 (18.8%) as malignant, and 28 of 69 (40.6%) as inflammatory. Color Doppler revealed that malignant lesions had significantly higher grade of vascularity and a mixed "scattered" pattern of distribution. Using spectral Doppler, malignant masses had significantly higher Doppler ultrasound wave forms. Grey scale sonar showed that the rate of illdefined borders, heterogeneous structure, and irregular shape was significantly higher in Malignant than benign tumors. Conclusions: Adding Doppler ultrasound (color and pulse wave) may grant better diagnosis for malignant salivary gland tumors.

Objectives: The purpose of the present scoping review was to determine the contribution of ultrasound images in the diagnosis of inflammatory and obstructive diseases of the major salivary glands (MSGs). Methods: A search of studies of ultrasonographic assessments of human samples was performed in several electronic databases and grey literature up to July 2021. The extracted data were the examined MSG; the diagnostic value of ultrasound (sensibility, specificity, positive- and negative predictive value, accuracy); features of lesions, including number, echogenicity, echotexture, form, margins, size, posterior acoustic aspect, and location; and related clinical information, such as swelling, palpation, sensible to pain, salivation, lymph nodes, recurrence, duration, and causes. Results: After verifying the eligibility criteria, 90 articles focused on detecting inflammatory, and obstructive diseases of the MSG were gathered, with variable study designs and size samples. A wide variety of pathologies were assessed, including sialolitiasis (n = 45), acute sialadenitis (n = 30), chronic sialadenitis (n = 25), granulamatous diseases (n = 15), Kuttner’s tumor (n = 11), juvenile recurrent parotitis (n = 9), abscess (n = 7), post-radiotherapy sialadenitis (n = 6), sialadenosis (n = 9), abscess (n = 7), IgG4-related disease sialadenitis (n = 5), HIV-sialadenitis (n = 4), obstructive sialadenitis (n = 3), iodinated contrast-induced sialadenitis (n = 2), and pneumoparotitis (n = 1). Most studies were case reports or series of cases. Few studies exhibited data about the accuracy of ultrasound in detecting MSG diseases. Conclusions: The present scoping review concluded that ultrasound aspects of different MSG pathologies are similar but contribute to their differential diagnosis and can be considered as a valuable initial method for assessing the MSG of adults and children.
