Hemangiomas are vascular anomalies characterized by increased proliferation and turnover of endothelial cells. Hemangiomas of the parotid region are relatively uncommon in adult population, and there are a few reports of hemangioma with large phlebolith within the parotid gland. We herein report a case of it. Sialography may be a useful investigation method in the evaluation of radiopaque lesions localized intraglandularly in the parotid area to rule out the sialolith. Cavernous hemangioma with phleboliths should be included in the differential diagnosis of a swelling in the mandibular area.
血管瘤是一种血管异常，其特征是内皮细胞增殖和更新增加。腮腺区血管瘤在成人中相对少见，关于腮腺内有大静脉石的血管瘤的报道较少。我们在此报告一例。腮腺造影可能是评估腮腺区域腺体内不透射线病变以排除涎石的一种有用的检查方法。伴有静脉石的海绵状血管瘤应列入下颌区肿胀的鉴别诊断。
