Abstract

The chapter is dedicated to the tumors.

We first started by the most frequent epithelial tumor like pleomorphic adenoma in parotid and submandibular glands, with description of what is an ultrasound tumor.

Then we continue with Warthin’s tumors study on mode B, Doppler, and elastography.

Following epithelial malignant tumors, mucoepidermoid and epidermoid carcinoma, always study in mode B, Doppler, and elastography.

As this, we arrive to malignant epithelial tumor, adenoid cystic carcinoma and lymph node metastasis.

After, we study the non-epithelial conjunctive tumors like lipomas, the neurogenic tumors such as hemangiomas and lymphangiomas especially on babies and adults.

We continue by dermoid tumors and basal cell adenomas.
