title: Cystic lymphangioma in the adult parotid.
abstract: Cystic lymphangioma is a congenital lesion which rarely presents in adult life and even less commonly arises within salivary tissue. We report the sudden appearance of a large cystic lymphangioma within the parotid gland of a young man and discuss the management of this rare condition.
