Infantile hemangioma of the accessory parotid gland.
Parotid gland tumors, especially those of the accessory parotid gland, are rare in infancy. Although infantile hemangiomas have been frequently reported as a cause of parotid gland tumors, their association with the accessory parotid gland has not been reported. This article describes the presentation of a hemangioma of the accessory parotid gland in an infant. Review of the literature and treatment methods are discussed.
