Abstract:
17 patients aged 18-72 years old were treated in Ha Noi Odonto-maxil -facial Institute with the diagnosis of tumor of parotid saliva glandula. Pathologic-amatomical diagnosis using CT scanner was limited for parotid glandula, this did not suggest accurately about cytological cause, only pathological anatomy could play the affirmative role on diagnosis. CT scanning permits to assess precisely the location, the size, the intensity, the frontier and the broading of the tumor. However, this technique could not evaluate the branch duct system of the gland obviously, comprehensively and it requires modern equipments with high cost for the patient.
