Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with pleomorphic adenoma. On ultrasonography they are hypoechoic, well defined and lobulated tumors with posterior acoustic enhancement.
Ultrasound
On Ultrasound, characteristic findings of pleomorphic adenomas include:[1]
- Pleomorphic adenomas are hypoechoic, well-defined, lobulated tumors with posterior acoustic enhancement and may contain calcifications.
- Ultrasound is frequently used to guide FNA or core needle biopsy.
