[Abstract] Parotid tumors are relatively rare histologically heterogeneous tumors. Because of their complex pathological types and non-specific clinical presentation, preoperative differentiation of tumor benignity and malignancy and different subtypes is very important for treatment strategy planning. In recent years, MRI technology has developed rapidly. The application of various technologies makes magnetic resonance examination of great significance in distinguishing benign and malignant parotid tumors and evaluating prognosis. The authors mainly focus on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), amide proton transfer (APT) imaging, arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion-weighted imaging and radiomics for evaluating parotid gland tumors. The research progress of parotid tumors is reviewed, which provides an basis and reference for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant parotid tumors and their classification, planning treatment plans and evaluating tumor prognosis.
