Aim: To retrospectively evaluate the MR imaging features of histologically proven minor salivary gland tumors (MSGTs). Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of MR imaging features of 29 histologically proven MSGTs was performed. Results: The commonest site of involvement was base of tongue (n=7) and the commonest pathology was adenoid cystic carcinoma (n=12). All the MSGTs revealed smooth surface with well-defined margins and polypoidal appearance (100% sensitivity, 100%PPV). T2w hyperintensity and enhancement results (ranged from intense to intermediate hyperintensity) were variable. Larger tumors (more than 3.5 cm) had a heterogeneous appearance. Discussion: All MSGTs showed smooth surface, well-defined margins and polypoidal appearance. The T2w hyperintense signal of the MSGT... view moreĀ»
