摘　　要：Venous vascular malformations of the parotid gland are very rare vascular tumors,especially among adults.This case report discusses the presentation and challenges of diagnosing a venous vascular malformation of the parotid gland in a patient with previous oncologic history.Our patient is a 45-year-old female with a history of breast cancer,meningioma,and secreting pituitary adenoma who presented with a malformation on magnetic resonance imaging,incidentally demonstrating a T2 intense mass in the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland.She was otherwise asymptomatic.Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration was nondiagnostic.She underwent a right inferior superficial parotidectomy.Histologic section analysis demonstrated a well-delineated vascular tumor made of large vascular spaces with thin walls surrounded by a parotid tissue consistent with a venous vascular malformation of the parotid gland.Venous vascular malformations are exceedingly rare,especially among adults.Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration can be of limited value.Parotidectomy may be electively considered for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
