No significant internal vascularity is seen in it on colour Doppler ultrasound examination. A few small lymph nodes are seen in the left parotid gland; however, no suspicious focal lesion is seen in the left parotid gland.

Well-defined heterogenous low echogenicity lesion within the right parotid gland, which is likely a Warthin tumour, which was later confirmed by the histopathology. The patient has been seen by the surgeon and scheduled for its excision.
