title: [MRI in the diagnosis of tumors of the parotid gland].
abstract: Tumors of the parotid gland are easily depicted with magnetic resonance imaging. Their exact site, and extension in the case of a malignant tumor, are correctly predicted. The histologic nature of the lesion remains to be verified by histologic examination. MRI is invaluable for the detection of recurrent pleomorphic adenomas.
