Online published on 4 April, 2020. Abstract Vascular anomaly is the term used to implicate various vascular pathology, including proliferating vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Vascular malformation of the parotid gland is a rare condition where very few cases have been reported in the literature. The clinical and radiological features of vascular malformations often mimic those of other pathologic entities, causing diagnostic confusion. Furthermore, the imaging appearance of low flow and high flow vascular malformations can vary, making the diagnosis challenging. Here we report a case of a 40 years old, female who presented with the complaint of swelling in the left parotid region for one year. Imaging revealed a vascular malformation involving the left parotid gland. Superficial Parotidectomy was planned Top Keywords Vascular Malformation (VMs), Hemangioma, Parotid gland. Top |
