Abstract
THIS IS a report of a case of a congenital hemangioma of the right parotid salivary gland. A recent extensive review of the tumors of the major salivary glands (Foote and Frazell) briefly mentioned this rare but significant tumor. Foote and Frazell found no instances in 877 cases of salivary gland tumors collected over a period of 20 years. McFarland reviewed 33 cases and added one new case of this tumor in 1930. In more recent years, a few case reports have been presented, among others, by Fein, Glaser and co-workers, and Caldwell. It is the purpose of this case report to emphasize the clinical, anatomic, and biologic features of this tumor. <h3>REPORT OF CASE</h3> <i>History</i>.—A 16-month-old white girl had a soft, compressible, nontender, warm swelling in the right preauricular region for 10 months.
