Figure 7.

Axial T2-weighted MR image (A) of a 73-year-old male patient with a histologically proven salivary duct carcinoma (arrows) of the deep lobe of the parotid gland displacing the superficial lobe of the parotid gland laterally. The lesion is also well delineated and hyperintense on the T1-weighted images (B) suggesting previous bleeding. Only theT1-weighted contrast-enhanced fat saturated MR image (C) reveals slightly irregular margins of the tumour, which could not be appreciated on the native images suggestive of malignancy.
