	CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA OF THE PAROTID GLAND:14(3)
		Hemangioma is perhaps the most common tumor of the major salivary glands during infancy and childhood.1-5 Krolls et al.6 found it to occur second to pleomorphic adenoma in infancy.
		Cavernous hemangioma usually presents in late childhood or early adulthood and is unlikely to regress spontaneously or with conservative measures;10,26 hence, the treatment of choice is surgical excision.
		Parotid cavernous hemangioma may present as a solitary lump in the parotid region26,28,29 or as a diffuse swelling.11,31 It is usually soft but could be firm or sponge-like.

		Most hepatic hemangiomas are discovered incidentally at the time of testing for unrelated medical problems, most commonly with ultrasound imaging or CT (computerized tomography) scanning of the abdomen.
		When a hemangioma is suspected, the challenge for the physician is to be sure that it is in fact a hemangioma and not another type of tumor, particularly a malignant one.
		In general, a biopsy of suspected hemangiomas is avoided because of their benign nature and the potential risk of bleeding from the biopsy.

	► Hemangioma
		Hemangiomas are usually present at birth although they may appear within a few months of birth often beginning at a site that has appeared slightly dusky or colored differently than the surrounding tissue.
		This phase is followed by a rest phase, in which the hemangioma changes very little, and an involutional phase where the hemangioma undergoes spontaneous regression.
		Large cavernous hemangiomas distort the skin around them and despite full involution, will ultimately leave visible changes in the skin.
