The aim of this study is to review the imaging appearance of posttreatment salivary gland tumors. The authors discuss the imaging appearance of parotidectomy and reconstructive surgery of parotid defects. Imaging is important to diagnose tumor recurrence and also assess for complications related to surgery, such as a sialocele, fluid collection, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, and graft stenosis. The article also provides a current-state assessment of the applications of advanced imaging techniques.
