case_images: Preoperative MRI, coronal T2-W: 5 x 4 x 3 cm mass originating from the left submandibular gland. Two different multilobed neoformations with colliquate areas (black square and black trapezius) delimited by a thick pathological peripheral tissue are clearly visible.

case_images: Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and neck (Figure 1) showed a 5 x 4 x 3 cm multilobed neoformation originating from the left submandibular gland.
