Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) results from errors in vascular development during embryogenesis; absent capillary beds lead to shunting directly from the arterial to venous circulation. Although it is common in the head and neck region, AVMs located in the parotid gland are quite rare. Here, we report two cases of arteriovenous malformation of the parotid gland that presented to our out-patient setup with swelling in the parotid region and were diagnosed as arteriovenous malformation on histopathological study after surgical resection.

ABSTRACT Arteriovenous malformations are rare in the head and neck region and generally arise from intracranial vessels. We present a rare case of arteriovenous malformation related to pinna. The role of color Doppler sonography in the diagnosis and management of such case is discussed along with review of literature.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are fast-flow vascular malformations that mostly occur in the head and neck region. They are typically progressive and their spontaneous regression is almost never seen. We present a case with pulsatile tinnitus and a parapharyngeal AVM. It resolved completely after diagnostic catheter-based angiography alone.

AbstractLymphangiomas are uncommon benign congenital tumours. Most occur in the head and neck region and the vast majority present before the age of two. This paper describes the presentation and management of four cases presenting after puberty and involving the parotid gland. The cases are unusual in that all were intimately associated with the facial nerve and in an older population. The value of selective neck dissection and facial nerve exposure as an approach to these lesions is discussed.

Castleman disease is an extremely rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. It affects the lymphatic chain in anybody region, although the commonest site is the mediastinum. The head and neck region is the second most common site; however, the salivary glands are rarely affected. We report a case of a 29-year-old Asian lady who presented with a 2-year history of an enlarging left parotid mass. Histopathology of the excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Castleman disease.

Introduction Malakoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder, predominantly affecting the urinary tract. In the head and neck region, it is very rare and may confuse the clinicians during investigations, as features may mimic malignancy. Materials and methods We report a case of malakoplakia involving the parotid gland and review of the reported cases of malakoplakia in head and neck region. Results Histologically, this is the first classic case report of malakoplakia involving the parotid gland in the world literature. A total of 49 cases have been reported in the head and neck region; 38.7% of these are cutaneous. In soft tissue, the tongue is the most common site. Salivary gland involvement is very rare. Previously, submandibular salivary gland involvement has been reported. Conclusion A possibility of malakoplakia should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with enlarged head and neck masses. Histology is essential to diagnose this benign inflammatory disorder and to differentiate from a malignant process.

ABSTRACTSolitary neurofi broma is a rare tumor of the head and neck region. It is more common in viscera, where it is associated with features of NF1. It occurs most often between the third and fourth decade. These lesions are extremely rare in infants. We report a case of giant, solitary neurofi broma presenting as a progressive mass in parotid region in an infant. This case is unique in its age of presentation (11 months), site, size (about 8 x 15 cm) without any symptoms or neurological defi cit.
