Fig 2. A 70-year-old man with pleomorphic adenoma of parotid gland. A, Axial T1-weighted (TR/TE = 426 ms/12 ms) image using 47-mm microscopy coil shows tumor (arrows) with homogeneous architectures and hypointense signals relative to gland.

B, Axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted (TR/TE = 4677 ms/80 ms) image using microscopy coil shows heterogeneous tumor (arrows).

C, Axial ADC map shows that tumor (indicated by white contour) contains central high ADC area and peripheral intermediate ADC area.

D and E, Photomicrographs show area with proliferating tumor cells (D) or large cyst (E). Original magnifications, 20x (D) and 10x (E). Hematoxylin-eosin staining.
