[DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS AND FEATURES OF THE CLINICAL COURSE OF TUMORS OF THE PAROTID SALIVARY GLANDS].

The purpose of the research is to clarify the diagnostic value of the ultrasound examination method in the diagnosis of tumors of the parotid gland. A clinical examination of 389 patients with tumors and tumor-like neoplasms of the parotid gland was performed. Based on the clinical examination of patients with tumors of the parotid glands, it can be concluded that the ultrasound examination method is highly informative and allows you to study in detail the structure of the tumor and the surrounding soft tissues, which significantly increases its diagnostic value. The use of a comprehensive diagnostic examination (ultrasound, CT, MRI) of patients with tumors of the parotid glands made it possible to increase the accuracy of the differential diagnosis of tumors to 98%.
