AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared ultrasound results of 82 parotid tumors with histology to assess tumor size, structure (cystic or solid), and pre-surgery classification as benign or malignant.
- Ultrasound proved to be a reliable and quick method for evaluating isolated nodular lesions in the parotid area.
- Despite some limitations, it remains an important tool alongside surgical exploration for accurate diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Morphological criteria obtained from ultrasonic exploration of 82 parotid tumors were compared with histological findings. Precise determination was possible of the size of the tumor, its cystic or solid nature, and the pre-operative evaluation of its benign or malignant nature. In spite of certain deficiencies, the safety, rapidity of execution, and reliability of ultrasonography make it a complementary investigation of choice for all isolated nodular lesions in the parotid region before surgical exploration, which remains indispensable.
