Q. What is my MRI taken for round substance under ear showing?
Hello doctor,
Kindly read and explain my MRI report. There is a small round substance under the left ear.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There is an abnormal mass in your parotid gland which is mostly pleomorphic adenoma (attachment removed to protect patient identity). An adenoma is a benign type of salivary gland tumor. Histological examination is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. There are two ways, the first is taking a sample from the mass, the second is complete removal of the gland. I prefer complete removal.
