Fig. 1From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: The diagnostic value of combined dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in characterization of parotid gland tumorsMale patient, 62 years old presented with large Rt. Parotid swelling. a Axial T2 WI and b coronal T2 fat sat MRI showed large well-defined mass of high SI involving superficial and deep lobes of the Rt. parotid gland. It shows medial displacement of the Rt. parapharyngeal space. It is seen compressing and medially displacing the right CCA. The mass is seen contacting the right ramus of the mandible anteriorly and the right sternomastoid muscle posteriorly. c Coronal post contrast T1 fat sat MRI showed heterogeneous enhancement of the mass with cystic areas inside. d DWI the lesion appeared hypointense. e ADC map with mean ADC value = 2.2 × 10−3 mm2/s. f TIC showing type A curve (TTP = 140 s). Pathological diagnosis: pleomorphic adenomaBack to article page
