title: [The value of comparison of echography and sialo-tomography in the preoperative evaluation of parotid tumors].
abstract: Studying information provided by sialo-tomography and parotid ultrasonography in the pre-operative investigation of parotid tumors, the authors compare results provided by the two types of investigation. Whilst ultrasonography, a non-invasive technique, provides more detail concerning the topography and appearance of the tumor than sialography, it cannot yet be used as a substitute for this radiological investigation. The two would appear to be complementary, leading the last word to histopathology.
