A Rare Case Report of Parotid Cavernous Hemangioma in an Adult
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 5
Abstract
Hemangioma is a common soft tissue lesion in oral and maxillofacial region. However, hemangioma in the parotid gland is a rare presentation in adult population with only few reports of cavernous hemangioma within the parotid gland. Hemangiomas are classified as benign vascular tumours which are further categorized into infantile and congenital types. A 40-year old male presented with the mass on the left parotid region to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit of second Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed the presence of vascular malformations. The mass was removed with total parotidectomy via standard lazy S incision. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. It is often challenging for clinicians to reach a definitive diagnosis based on clinical and/or radiographic findings as it is a rare pathology in adults.
