83 year old female with right side neck mass. Again identified is a well-defined, heterogeneous soft tissue mass involving the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland. This lesion measures approximately 1.5 x 1.3 cm (image 43 series 3), unchanged. There is mild enhancement of the soft tissue component anteriorly. No definite additional masses are abnormal enhancement. The left parotid, sublingual, and submandibular glands are unremarkable. The oral cavity, oro/nasopharynx, hypopharynx, larynx and subglottic airways are unremarkable. The epiglottis, vallecula, piriform sinuses, and vocal cords are normal. No abnormal lymphadenopathy is noted. Calcified atherosclerosis affects both carotid arteries at the bifurcation, left greater than right. Small hypodense nodules are present within left thyroid gland. The jugular veins are patent. The osseous structures are unremarkable. The prevertebral and paraspinal soft tissues are unremarkable.  The visualized intracranial structures demonstrate ventriculomegaly, unchanged since prior brain MRI. The intraorbital structures are unremarkable. Degenerative changes affect the cervical spine. No suspicious focal osseous lesions are seen. Limited views of the chest are unremarkable.
Stable partially-enhancing right parotid mass. Benign etiology, such as pleomorphic adenoma, is favored.
