[Differential diagnosis of parotid gland masses by gray scale real-time ultrasound].
This paper reports the ultrasonographic diagnoses in 18 cases of parotid gland masses confirmed by surgery and biopsy and pathology. The diagnostic accuracy was 100% (18/18) in the judgement in locations and was 72% (13/18) in the judgement in the nature of the disease. The clinical value of ultrasonographic diagnosis in parotid gland masses and the features of the sonographic images in benign and malignant tumors were analysed and discussed.
