Abstract

Vascular malformations of the parotid gland are extremely rare. A 23-year-old female presented with tender parotid swelling with mild compressibility. Diagnosis was made by ultrasonogram and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Facial nerve preserving surgical excision of the superficial parotid gland with infiltration of foam sclerosant was done.
