Sadaksharam Jayachandran,Bhaumik Joshi .

Abstract


Hemangioma of parotid gland in adult is an uncommon            condition and may pose difficulty in diagnosis when they  present with unusual manifestations. Pigmentation of skin, pulsatile nature and presence of phlebolith radiologically makes diagnosis of vascular lesion uncomplicated. But when none of these signs are present, thorough clinical examination and meticulous imaging investigations are warranted to           differentiate the lesion from more common conditions of the area. We have presented such one lesion and its clinical examination, Cone beam computed tomography Sialography, Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging diagnostic features in this case report.
