“…Concerning, the nature of lesion, each of stone, mixed solid and cystic and solid was (13.0%) and (47.8%) has average vascularity. In the same vein, Bradley [17] found that intraglandular mass lesions were hypoechoic in comparison to the normal gland parenchyma's uniform echogenicity surrounding them. Solid tumors frequently mimic cystic lesions by having an internal complexity that varies and by transmitting sound.…”

Background: The most typical reason for salivary gland swellings is mumps, one of the viral diseases of the salivary gland. Another reason for swelling is a tumor. The parotid glands are the primary source of around 70% of salivary gland tumors. The initial imaging technique for swollen salivary glands is ultrasound. Examining the deep lobe of the parotid with ultrasound (U/S) is challenging. Objective: The aim of the current work was to evaluate the role of ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) in the differentiation between benign and malignant salivary glands lesions. Patients and Methods: A cross sectional analytic study was conducted on 46 patients with swellings in the head and neck of either gender referred from the outpatient clinics of ENT, head and neck surgery and dentists to Radiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia university, Sheikh Zayed Specialized Hospital, and some private center during the period from November 2021 to November 2022. Results: showed that, primary and final diagnoses of salivary gland lesions by ultrasound and computed tomography were the same, that (39.1%) of patients suffered from sialadenitis, followed by both of sialolithiasis and benign tumor (21.7%), followed by malignant tumors (8.7%), and abscess and cystic lesion (4.3%). Inflammatory lymph nodes was significantly higher in ultrasound than computed tomography versus pathological lymph nodes, it was significantly higher in CT than U/S (p=0.032). Conclusions: It could be concluded that CT and ultrasonography can be used to diagnose abnormalities of the salivary glands accurately. It is a helpful imaging technique for evaluating salivary gland masses. It could assist in distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors and reduce the range of possible diagnosis.

“…It has the advantage of avoiding the use of ionizing radiation and being able to detect radiolucent calculi. However, the ductal area is difficult to visualize by this approach [1,3,4,25,26], as examplified by our patient. The recent use of small, high-frequency ultrasound probes allows access to Wharton's duct via an intraoral approach [4] and may succeed when extraoral ultrasound and X-ray have failed to detect calculi.…”

Sialolithiasis is an uncommon disorder in childhood. Initially asymptomatic, symptoms may appear gradually. These can vary from moderate discomfort to severe pain with large glandular swelling accompanied by trismus. The correct interpretation of symptoms and a proper investigation for localization of salivary stones are important for effective treatment. A case of submandibular sialolithiasis in a 9-year-old girl is used to exemplify the problems had in clinical diagnosis.

“…Benign lesions tend to be small, well defined, whereas malignant lesions are usually irregular and have heterogeneous internal structure. (3,4) Salivary gland strictures cannot be visualised on routine USG where Sialography is an important diagnostic aid. (5) Salivary gland calculus: The first use of ultrasound to identify and locate a parotid calculus was reported by Pickrell in 1978.…”

Ultrasonography (USG) as an imaging modality in dentistry has been extensively explored in recent years due to several advantages that diagnostic ultrasound provides. Ultrasonography is a technique based on sound waves that acquires images in real time without the use of ionizing radiation. Ultrasonography is used as an imaging modality for diagnosing many maxillofacial diseases and disorders. It is an inexpensive, easy to use and non-invasive technique, thereby eliminating the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. The application of USG in diagnosing cervical lymph node metastasis, oral sub mucous fibrosis, soft tissue calcifications in carotid region, temporomandibular disorders and salivary gland pathology etc. has been explored in recent years. USG has a promising future as a diagnostic imaging aid in all specialties in dentistry. This review will enlighten the diagnostic applications of USG in maxillofacial region.
