Abstract

Venous malformation with phleboliths is uncommon cause of unilateral parotid swelling. The clinical and radio-graphic appearance of venous malformation with phleboliths may masquerade as sialolithiasis. A 49-year-old female complained about unilateral parotid swelling for 6 years. Preoperative evaluation including computed tomography and sonography showed the suspicion of venous malformation with phleboliths. Superficial parotidectomy was performed. Pathological examination confirmed that the mass was venous malformation with phleboliths combined with sialolith in the parotid gland. We present the case of unilateral parotid swelling caused by a venous malforma-tion combined with sialolithiasis.
