Overview
On MRI, Warthin's tumor is characterized by well-defined bilateral lesions which are heterogeneous and variable in signal intensity.
Key MRI Findings in Warthin's tumor
- Well defined and can be bilateral.
- T1: low to intermediate signal with cyst containing cholesterol components containing focal high signal
- T2: heterogenous and variable signal intensity
- T1 C+ (Gd): usually no contrast enhancement[1]
