In adults, hemangioma is a rare presentation of a parotid mass. In this report, we present a case of a 40-year-old lady complaining of a swelling in the right inferior parotid region. Imaging studies revealed a cystic lesion of the right parotid gland. Fine needle aspiration cytology was not significantly helpful in revealing the diagnosis. In the operating room, a vascular cystic lesion was found in the deep lobe of the right parotid gland. Pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. In this case report, we discuss a rare pathology in the adult population, and review different aspects in its diagnosis and treatment.
