Parotid sialography; roentgenologico-surgical correlation in a series of 70 cases.
A study was made of the correlation of sialographic, clinical and surgical observations in a series of 70 cases. Sialography is a useful tool in the differentiation between extrinsic and intrinsic space-occupying masses in the parotid region. It permits differentiation between inflammatory lesions and neoplasms, thus eliminating needless surgical explorations. It alerts the surgeon to masses involving the deep lobe. It can be easily performed and causes little discomfort. Bearing in mind its limitations, sialography is an important diagnostic and preoperative aid in the management of parotid lesions.
