Abstract

Review question / Objective: To determine the utility of CEUS in the preoperative differentiation between pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) and Warthin’s tumors (WTs) of the parotid gland. Condition being studied: Recently, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has become a promising tool in distinguishing benign from malignant parotid gland tumors. However, its usefulness in differentiating various benign parotid tumors has not been determined so far. The preoperative differentiation of the most common parotid gland tumors (PAs and WTs) remains crucial to select an appropriate management strategy. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to systematically review the literature to determine the utility of CEUS in the differentiation of PAs and WTs of the parotid gland.
