3 linked publications; not a count of independent studies.
Missing appraisal does not mean no evidence exists. Inspect the full profile and source relationships in the interactive Atlas.
Historical grade: WEAK (retained from 22 September 2026; not a completed profile 2.0 assessment).
ADC + dynamic time-intensity curves separate many malignant from benign and pleomorphic adenoma/Warthin
Overlap persists (cellular benign tumors low ADC), thresholds are non-standard, and biopsy/surgery still governs
Guides extent of surgery and nerve-sparing; misclassification changes operative approach.
