Closing the Uncertainty Gap in the Diagnosis of Parotid Tumors. In this issue of the AJNR American Journal of Neuroradiology, Habermann et al[1] assess the value of diffusion-weighted echo-planar MR imaging in differentiating various types of primary parotid gland tumors in a large group of patients with a lesion of the parotid gland. They claim that, to a certain extent, diffusion-weighted echo-planar MR imaging has the potential for differentiation between various primary tumors of the parotid gland
The management of tumors of the parotid gland requires a detailed understanding of the anatomy and the pathologic processes affecting these glands and surrounding structures. Patients with these diseases are usually referred to a specialist from a head and neck center, where multidisciplinary management is possible
Differentiation between benign and malignant disease is often possible on the basis of morphologic appearance alone.[2]
