Infantile Hemangioendothelioma of the Parotid Gland

Rajas Chaubal, Om Tavri, Atul Sawant, Chitrangada SinghJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2017 7(1):5-5A 4-month-old infant presented with a painless swelling overlying the left angle of mandible. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large lesion replacing the entire left parotid gland, with multiple enlarged vessels. Homogeneous enhancement of the lesion was seen on the postcontrast MRI scans. Based on the imaging features, a diagnosis of infantile hemangioendothelioma of the parotid gland was offered. This helped in avoiding any further invasive testing.
