Background: Accurate preoperative differentiation of parotid gland tumors (PGTs) is essential for facial nerve preservation. This study evaluates a novel, real-time multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) approach combining B-mode, shear wave elastography (SWE), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), based on qualitative image interpretation.
Methods: Eighty-nine patients with 91 PGTs underwent mpUS prior to surgery or ultrasound-guided biopsy.

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of salivary gland ultrasound (SGUS) in patients with high suspicion of Sjögren's Disease (SjD) and to determine its potential role in the diagnostic process.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional diagnostic trial based on a prospective cohort, including 171 patients with high suspicion of SjD. SGUS of the parotid glands (PG) and submandibular glands (SMG) was performed according to the OMERACT scoring system.

Parotid gland agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly with fewer than 30 cases reported in the literature. It can present with xerostomia, facial asymmetry, recurrent infections, or may be entirely asymptomatic. Due to its rarity and potential to mimic other pathological conditions, especially in cases of facial asymmetry, awareness is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Imaging of salivary glands (SG), particularly Salivary Glands Ultrasonography (SGUS) is increasingly used in patients with suspected Sjogren's disease (SD). SGUS is the first-line imaging modality. Numerous studies have highlighted this non-invasive, non-irradiating, and low-cost imaging modality.
