Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the parotid gland is an extremely rare condition with very few cases reported in the literature. Majority of the swellings in the parotid region are usually due to sialadenitis, tumour etc., therefore making the initial diagnosis of vascular malformation may be difficult if there is no evident Turkey-wattle sign. Here, we present a case of AVM of parotid gland with its clinical features, radiographic features and its management. The lesion, being a high flow one, was managed with sclerosing agents to regress its size.
腮腺动静脉畸形（AVM）极为罕见，文献报道的病例很少。腮腺区域的肿胀大多通常是由于涎腺炎、肿瘤等引起的，因此，如果没有明显的“肉垂”征，血管畸形的初步诊断可能会很困难。在此，我们报告一例腮腺AVM病例，介绍其临床特征、影像学特征及治疗方法。该病变为高流量型，采用硬化剂治疗以缩小其大小。
