Backround: parotid hemangiomas are rare vascular benign tumors 0.4-0.6%. Though capillary type of hemangiomas have been shown a good response to medical therary, cavernous hemangiomas usually require surgical excision.

Review of literature: reports mostly tab propranolol to be treatment for the condition; it has guarded effect over cavernous hemangioma.
Conclusion: cavernous parotid hemangioma though rare, treatment mostly remains parotidectomy after proper evaluation for its feeding vessels.
