Cavernous hemangioma of the submandibular gland with parapharyngeal extension in an adult: Case report

Roya Azadarmaki, MD; Matthew T. Then, MD; Rohit Walia, MD; Miriam N. Lango, MD

Abstract

Cavernous hemangiomas of the submandibular gland are rare. Signs and symptoms typically resemble those of sialolithiasis and chronic sialadenitis. If a lesion extends into the parapharyngeal space, otalgia and sore throat can result. Spontaneous regression is not a characteristic of cavernous hemangiomas. Surgical excision is a management option. We report the case of an adult with a submandibular gland cavernous hemangioma with parapharyngeal extension.
