Abstract

Haemagiomas, benign vascular tumors, are the most common tumor found in children. They can occur in any location including the salivary glands, most often the parotid. Most haemagiomas involute spontaneously, requiring only conservative management. Active treatment of parotid haemangiomas is needed in the rare case of disfigurement, airway obstruction, hemorrhaging or other severe complications.
