  • Title: Cavernous hemangioma of the parotid gland.
    Author: Chahine KN, Tohme SM, Chouairy CJ.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 2007; 55(3):165-6. PubMed ID: 17966740.
    Abstract:
    In adults, hemangioma is a rare presentation of a parotid mass. In this report, we present a case of a 40-year-old lady complaining of a swelling in the right inferior parotid region. Imaging studies revealed a cystic lesion of the right parotid gland. Fine needle aspiration cytology was not significantly helpful in revealing the diagnosis. In the operating room, a vascular cystic lesion was found in the deep lobe of the right parotid gland. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. In this case report, we discuss a rare pathology in the adult population, and review different aspects in its diagnosis and treatment.
