According to the ultrasound results, two nodules were detected in and near the lower portion of the left parotid gland. The first measures 9x8x20 mm and the second 6x4 mm. Both are well-circumscribed and are described as iso-/hypo-echoic. This means that the nodules appear similar to or slightly darker/grayer than surrounding tissue. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was recommended for more detailed examination of these nodules. Contrast-enhanced MRI allows for a better assessment of tissue structure and potential abnormalities. Such radiological findings can have various causes, and a specialist's opinion is necessary for definitive evaluation.
