Normal Anatomy
The Parotid lies anterior &
inferior to the ear (para=around otid=ear).
It is located on side of face, anterior to the mastoid tip and external auditory canal,
and it overlaps the masseter muscle anteriorly.

Normal Anatomy The main parotid duct is Stensen’s duct, which
enters the oral cavity through buccal mucosa opposite upper second molar after coursing over masseter muscle and piercing the buccinator muscle

Normal Anatomy
The facial nerve passes the substance of the gland, lateral to the external carotid artery and retromandibular vein, giving off several smaller branches

Optional Intra-oral scanning
• Can assist with assessing the ampulla and papilla.
• Use a probe with a small footprint (hockey stick is ideal).
• Some patients will not be able to tolerate this technique as they feel like "gagging" .
• Remove any false teeth as this will improve the area for you to scan in.
• Performed with the patient erect

Size of salivary glands
• The parotid glands were measured 46.3 mm +/- 7.7 mm in the axis parallel to the mandibular ramus and 37.4 mm +/- 5.6 mm in the transversel axis. The dimension of the parotid parenchyma was measured with 7.4 mm +/- 1.7 mm lateral to the mandible and 22.8 mm +/- 3.6 mm dorsal to the mandible.
• In the submandibular glands we found an anterior-posterior length of 35 mm +/- 5.7 mm, a paramandibular dimension to the depth of 14.3 mm +/- 2.9 mm and a dimension in frontal scanning of 33.7 mm +/- 5.4 mm.
• The average size of the normal gland is 32 x 12mm.

Role of US in salivary gland disease
• Diffuse : (inflammatory) size texture vasularity Any abnormality in the surrounding anatomy including the lymph nodes. Duct dilatation (use Colour Doppler so you do not mistake a vessel to be a dilated duct) • Localized : mass or stone mass cystic or solid benign or malignant

• High grade mucoepidermoidcarcinoma are usually ill defined lesions whereas low grade tumors may present as a sharply bordered benign looking tumour on imaging
ultrasound can reliably diagnose malignancy if there is a high level of blood supply, high index of resistance and high systolic speed identified on colour Doppler
Colour Doppler may also aid in the assessment of malignancy; the lesion with a disorganised colour Doppler flow pattern and RI >0.8, PI >2 is more likely to be malignant.

Sonographically Guided Core Biopsy of A Parotid Mass
• Sonograms show 16-mm
pseudocystic mass in tail of right parotid gland. Tip of biopsy needle (arrow, A) is positioned so that on needle discharge with 15-mm setting of biopsy device, needle traverses but does not exit lesion. Confirmation of needle placement is seen in B.

Cysts
• Simple cysts are uncommon in salivary glands .
• US features of a cyst are classic (like in any other location in the body): well-defined margins, anechoic content, posterior acoustic enhancement, and no evidence of internal blood flow at power Doppler or color Doppler imaging (

Differential diagnosis of salivary gland calcification
• • Sialolithiasis • • Chronic sialadenitis (dystropic calcification) • • Chronic granulomatous sialadenitis (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis) • • Chronic stage of autoimmune sialosis (punctate calcifications) • • Postradiation chronic sialadenitis • • Pleomorphic adenoma • • Warthin tumor • • Acinic cell carcinoma • • Adenoid cystic carcinoma • • Malignant degeneration (osteochondrosarcoma) in an ex-pleomorphic • adenoma • • Extension of synovial chondromatosis of TM] into parotid space • • Extension of chondrosarcoma of TM] into the parotid space

Differential diagnosis of parotid gland enlargement
• • Infectious diseases (mumps. cat-scratch disease, suppurative
parotitis. actinomycosis) • • Granulomas (sarcoidosis. tuberculosis, etc.) • • Kimura disease • • Immunological diseases • • Collagen vascular autoimmune diseases (e.g .• Sjogren syndrome) • • Metabolic and endocrine-related sialopathy • • Vasculogenic (hemangioma. vascular malformation) • • lymphangioma (cystic hygroma) • • lymphoepithelial disorder (AIDS sialopathy) • • lymphoma • • Parotid neoplasms (epithelial, mesenchymal) • • Metastasis (kidney, lung, breast. thyroid. malignant melanoma)
