Figure 18.
(A,B) Thirty-nine-year-old patient with involvement of all glands by histology-proven sarcoidosis. The parenchyma of the PGs has a heterogeneous, more fine-granulated and coarse aspect caused by diffuse hypoechoic areas, supposably caused by infiltration of granulocytes (white arrows, A). The SMGs are enlarged by diffuse hypoechoic infiltration, which was focally pronounced in the caudal part (B). Abbreviations: PG, parotid gland; SMG, submandibular gland; M, mandible; MM, masseter muscle; MHM, mylohyoid muscle; TONG, tongue; SoL, space occupying lesion.
