Correlations between Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging and Histopathological Results in Salivary Gland Lesions.

The purpose of this study was to search for correlations between contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and histopathological results in salivary gland lesions and to determine the accuracy of CEUS in the preoperative differentiation of salivary gland tumours according to postoperative histopathological results. The study included 54 consecutive patients with 63 salivary gland lesions who underwent CEUS examination prior to surgical treatment at the Department of Otolaryngology, Medical University of Łódź (Poland) in 2019-2022. The accuracy of CEUS in differential diagnostics of salivary gland lesions was later verified against final histological diagnosis.
