[X-ray diagnosis of parotid gland tumors (without contrasting)]

The clinico-roentgenological semiotics of neoplastic lesions of the parotid gland in 82 patients is described. In 51 of them mixed tumors were noted, adenomas, angiomas, lipomas - in 8, cancer, sarcoma, metastases - in 16, chronic parotitis simulating the tumor - in 7. Based on the conducted studies, it was found that this method, taking into account the clinical findings too, largely makes it possible (in 79 of 82 cases) to establish the differential diagnosis between different neoplastic processes and chronic parotitis.
