Radiological images of keratocystoma: a rare tumor of the parotid gland

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: A 34-year-old man found a mildly tender preauricular mass. Ultrasonography revealed an anechoic mass in the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. Magnetic resonance imaging showed thin ring-like contrast enhancement and homogenously high intensity on T2-weighted images. The mass was resected due to its rapid growth. The cystic lesion contained keratine-like material and a stratified squamous epithelium without granular layers, which was consistent with keratocystoma.
