INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to assess computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of salivary gland tumors of the parotid gland with emphasis on intratumoral cystic components.
METHODS: Seventy-two histopathologically confirmed salivary gland tumors of the parotid gland (44 benign and 28 malignant), which underwent both CT and MR imaging including contrast-enhanced study, were included in this study. We retrospectively reviewed images for the presence, number, occupying rate, margin characteristics, distribution, and predominant MR signal intensity of intratumoral cystic components.
RESULTS: The prevalence of cystic components was greater in malignant than benign tumors (79 vs. 50%, p < 0.05). The number and occupying rate were similar between benign and malignant tumors. The irregular margins were more frequent in malignant than benign tumors (73 vs. 27%, p < 0.01). The frequency of eccentric location was greater in benign than malignant tumors (91 vs. 55%, p < 0.01), whereas the frequency of centric location was greater in malignant than benign tumors (32 vs. 0%, p < 0.01). On T1-weighted images, the frequency of hyperintensity was greater in benign than malignant tumors (50 vs. 9%, p < 0.01), whereas that of isointensity was greater in malignant than benign tumors (50 vs. 0%, p < 0.01). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the absence of irregular margins of cystic components only was significantly correlated with the presence of benign salivary gland tumors (p < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Imaging features of intratumoral cystic components may help to differentiate benign from malignant tumors of the parotid salivary gland.
