| Popis: | Background:. Salivary gland obstruction can present as unilateral, episodic facial swelling. Vascular malformations as a cause of parotid duct obstruction with associated unilateral cheek swelling and pain are rare. Case description:. We describe the case of a 16-year-old female with a protracted 2-year history of unilateral facial swelling and pain that was misdiagnosed as recurrent parotitis on computed tomography and sialoendoscopy. Eventually, the 16-year-old female was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging to have a microcystic lymphatic malformation of the parotid duct as the cause of her cheek swelling and pain. Afterwards, the patient was referred to undergo interstitial bleomycin sclerotherapy. Conclusions:. This case demonstrates a unique microcystic lymphatic malformation producing obstructive symptoms as well as the utility of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of a patient presenting with recurrent unilateral facial pain and swelling. |
