Sialography and CT-sialography in the diagnosis of parotid masses. 1984

O Eyjólfsson, and T Nordshus, and T Dahl

Parotid masses were evaluated by sialography and CT-sialography in 22 patients. Nineteen were benign tumors and one a metastasis. All were identified by CT. Two patients with sialoadenitis were misinterpreted at CT. All benign tumors appeared as lobulated, sharply marginated masses, embedded in displaced glandular parenchyma. The metastasis was lobulated, irregular and located within the gland. With sialography, 17 tumors were identified and 3 small superficial tumors overlooked. Both patients with sialoadenitis were diagnosed by sialography. CT-sialography is recommended in patients with suggested parotid masses, and sialography in suggested inflammatory disease.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008545	Melanoma	A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
