 Images are slightly limited by patient motion. There is a stable subcentimeter plaque-like enhancing lesion along the lateral aspect of the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland. The parotid glands themselves as well as the remaining salivary glands are unremarkable. Postoperative changes are again seen from previous left hemithyroidectomy with stable appearance of nonspecific soft tissue in the resection bed.There is a stable T2/STIR hyperintense enhancing lesion in the left superior C7 articular process that measures up to 15 mm CC. There is multilevel degenerative spondylosis. There is multilevel cervical spondylosis which appears unchanged.
1. Stable subcentimeter plaque like enhancing structure likely representing a lymph node along the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland. No intrinsic parotid gland pathology.2. Stable appearance of left C7 superior articulating process abnormal signal and enhancement which may represent an atypical hemangioma.3. Stable postoperative changes from previous left hemithyroidectomy.
