AIM: To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and signal characteristics of parotid masses and investigate the added role of texture analysis (TA) in the differentiation of parotid tumours.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-five patients (42 women, 53 men; mean age 51.67±14.15) were included in this study. The study group consisted of 40 pleomorphic adenoma, 45 Warthin's tumour, and 10 mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Two reviewers assessed the MRI sequences retrospectively. Fat-suppressed T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted axial images were used for TA. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to evaluate the ability to make a diagnosis. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the independent risk factors among the MRI features and to analyse the added value of TA to the qualitative analysis.
RESULTS: Significant differences were found in the tumour border (p<0.001), infiltration of the surrounding tissue (p=0.003), contrast-enhancement grading (p<0.001), perineural spread (p=0.013), and pathological lymph nodes (p<0.001) between the malignant and benign tumours. Kurtosis on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, and skewness and kurtosis on T2-weighted images were significantly different between the three groups (p=0.020, <0.001, 0.003; respectively). A kurtosis value on T2-weighted images <2.815 along with an ill-defined border had the highest specificity (98.8%) and positive predictive value (83.3%) in the differentiation of malignant tumours.
CONCLUSION: The addition of TA parameters to the MRI findings may contribute to distinguish benign from malignant parotid tumours.
