Sialoblastoma is a rare congenital or perinatal salivary gland tumor with significant variability in histological appearance and biological behavior. We reported one case of sialoblastoma occurring in the parotid gland of an 18‐month‐old female. The tumor was excised with negative margins, and the sacrificed facial nerve was reconstructed with great auricular nerve graft. The tumor recurred 6 months after operation and was treated with 125 I seed implant brachytherapy. No recurrence was found after 21 months of follow‐up.
