【 摘 要 】

Vascular lesions are rarely encountered within parotid glands.Vascular lesions in parotid can bepseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and haemangioma besides rare tumours like cystic hygroma. Any swelling in the partotid gland which shows sudden increase in the size of the swelling is attributed to either infection or cystic degeneration of the tumour. Cystic Hygroma account for 5% of the vascular malformation occurring in the face or parotid gland. Here we have a 13yr old patient with a vascular cystic lesion in the parotid gland with insidious onset. She underwent superficial parotidectomy and histopathological examination confirmed it as a vascular malformation. Studies have shown that vascular malformations in children are seen in less than 1yr age group.
