Objective To investigate the pathological base and MRI characteristics of primary parotid lymphoma. Methods MR findings of 5case of primary parotid lymphoma were analyzed retrospectively and confirmed by surgical pathology were reviewed in detail, and the literature were reviewed. Results All cases showed slightly hyper-intense or iso-intense on T1WI and uniform hyper-intense on T2WI, 2 case with capsule and had ringlike enhancement. All cases involved both the light leaf and depth leaf, and cervical lymph nodes enlargement could be seen at the affected side. The ADC value of this 5cases is 0.536±0.037, TIC curve of 3 cases shows as B type, and the other 2's showed as C type.The magnetic resonance sialography(MRS) showed normal parotid duct signal intensity. Conclusion The characteristic MRI manifestations could prompted the diagnosis of primary parotid lymphoma.
