Resumo
The deep and diffuse distribution of salivary glands in
the soft tissue of the head and neck region is one common
limitation to the early diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma
(PA) from those glands. The limits of this type of lesion
cannot be established by clinical exam only. Magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) has being playing an important
role in the diagnosis of the AP. This image modality
provides high resolution of soft tissue with no ionizing
radiation. The majority of the studies have been shown it
superiority for this purpose. The aim of this study was to
review the literature and to discuss the importance,
advantages, and disadvantages of the different imaging
techniques for the diagnosis and treatment plan of the most
prevalent neoplasm of salivary glands – Pleomorphic
Adenoma. Reports of clinical cases will illustrate the most
important reasons that justify the superiority of MRI for
the above-mentioned investigation.
