Abstract:
Objective To investigate CT and MRI imaging of Warthin tumor of parotid gland.Methods CT and MRI character-istics of 5 1 patients confirmed as Warthin tumor by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among 5 1 cases, 43 patients were males,and 8 patients were females.A total of 84 lesions were found in all cases,20 cases had at least 2 lesions.The margins of lesions were well-defined.68 lesions were round or elliptical.45 lesions located in the posterior and inferior quadrant of the parotid gland completely or premodinantly.The density and signal of most lesions were homogeneous.The parenchymal area of most lesions showed an early moderate-remarkable enhancement.Small blood vessels surrounded the lesions in 1 9 cases.Conclusion CT and MRI are important and valuable for the diagnosis of Warthin tumor.
