ANAMNESIS
/ SYMPTOMS:
A 87 year old patient suffers from a huge and still growing tumour in the area
of the right parotid gland. One week ago a facial nerve paresis occurred.
FINDINGS:
Immediately
distal of or in the masseter
muscle and
cranial of the mandible a
hypoechoic, undefinable and altogether diffusely visualized tumour with
irregular internal echos is visible that exceeds the borders of the parotid space
by far. The sternocleidomastoid
muscle is
portrayed as well.
DIAGNOSIS:
The patient
is suspected of having a malignant
tumour of the parotid gland.
Because of the exceeding of the boundary of the organ further imaging is
necessary.
