Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of gray-scale histogram in the differential diagnosis of pleomorphic Adenoma and Adenolymphoma of parotid gland.Methods The preoperative ultrasound images of 18 patients with pleomorphic Adenoma (PA) , and 13 patients with Adenolymphoma (AL) were analyzed for imaging gray-scale histograms parameters (mean, variance, skewness, Kurtosis, 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, 99th percentiles).The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the differential diagnostic efficiency of each parameter.Results The variance of PA group was higher than that of AL group, but the skewness and kurtosis were lower than that of AL group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The value of mean, the 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th and 99th percentiles between the two group had no significant difference (P>0.05). The analysis of ROC curve showed that the Kurtosis was the most effective parameter for differential diagnosis. The AUC was 0.744 (P=0.022), the best critical value was 1.71, the sensitivity was 76.9%, the specificity was 61.1%, and the yoden index was 0.380. Besides, The AUC, optimal critical value, sensitivity, specificity and Yoden index of variance were 0.735 (P=0.028), 864.94, 72.2%, 76.9% and 0.491 respectively.Conclusion The ultrasonic gray histogram has a certain value in the differential diagnosis between PA and Al.
