A member asked:
A friend had a standard brain and orbits pre and post contrast mriperformed.there are subcentimeter bilateral parotid lymph nodes.what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Previous infection: The parotid gland is the saliva gland behind our jaw and under our ears, and it contains lymph nodes. These lymph nodes may become larger in response to infection. Intraparotid subcentimeter lymph nodes are likely in response to previous infection (upper respiratory, oral, skin, for instance). Your friend may need formal evaluation by an ENT doctor for reassurance, however.
