Abstract

A 4-month-old infant presented with a painless swelling overlying the left angle of mandible. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large lesion replacing the entire left parotid gland, with multiple enlarged vessels. Homogeneous enhancement of the lesion was seen on the postcontrast MRI scans. Based on the imaging features, a diagnosis of infantile hemangioendothelioma of the parotid gland was offered. This helped in avoiding any further invasive testing.

Introduction

Hemangioendothelioma (HAE) is a rare tumor. However, it is the most common parotid gland tumor in children. It presents as a painless, rapidly progressive swelling in infancy. The lesion is benign and self-limiting, and hence, proper diagnosis of the lesion is required to prevent unnecessary invasive testing.

Case Report

A 4-month-old infant presented with a painless swelling overlying the left angle of the mandible [Figure 1]. The swelling was soft and nontender on palpation, with normal appearance of the overlying skin.

Ultrasound (USG) of the parotid swelling was performed using a linear 4–7 MHz transducer. USG examination revealed a largely homogeneous, isoechoic lesion replacing the entire parotid gland. The lesion had lobulated margins. The normal parotid gland parenchyma was not visualized. A few echogenic internal septae were seen within the parotid mass lesion [Figures 2 and 3]. Color flow Doppler examination revealed the presence of multiple, dilated vascular channels [Figure 4].

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the parotid lesion was subsequently performed with a 1.5-T MRI machine using head coils. Axial and coronal T1-weighted, fat-suppressed T2-weighted, coronal short tau inversion recovery (STIR) as well as gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted axial images were obtained.

Axial T2-weighted, fat-suppressed [Figure 5] and coronal STIR MRI images [Figure 6] demonstrated a hyperintense lesion involving the left parotid gland. Multiple thin septae were seen within the parotid lesion. Prominent flow voids were also noted within the lesion [Figure 7]. The lesion had a homogeneous enhancement on the postcontrast scan [Figures 8 and 9]. The right parotid gland appeared unremarkable. The overlying skin appeared normal.

Discussion

HAE is the most common parotid tumor in children. The median age of presentation is approximately 4 months. Girls are more commonly affected than boys (3:1).[12] HAE are often multiple. HAE shows rapid enlargement in infancy and gradual regression starting at 8–18 months of age.[3]

The USG findings in our case were consistent with previously described case reports, showing inhomogeneous enlargement of the parotid gland, with retention of its overall shape and preservation of the lobular pattern.[34] The presence of multiple large vessels within the lesion is the characteristic of HAE.[34] Significant extension beyond the parotid gland is uncommon.[4] HAE is known to occur in accessory parotid glands as well.

On MRI, HAE appears isointense to muscle on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images.[5] It shows homogeneous contrast enhancement with the presence of characteristic prominent flow voids.[4] MRI is a better modality for evaluating the deep lobe of the parotid gland.

Computed tomography (CT) scan provides no significant advantage over MRI and thus can be avoided in view of the radiation dose received by the patient.

Red cell scintigraphy is considered highly accurate in the diagnosis of head and neck hemangiomas in children.[4] It shows the presence of a uniform, well-circumscribed uptake, similar to that in the heart.

Differential diagnoses of HAE in the parotid gland include the following:

  • Congenital infantile fibrosarcoma – In this lesion, color flow Doppler pattern may be similar; however, mass appears inhomogeneous[6]

  • Solitary infantile myofibromatosis – This lesion may show rapid growth followed by involution. However, infantile myofibromatosis is hypovascular, with poorly circumscribed margins[7]

  • Sialoblastoma – On MRI, sialoblastoma shows inhomogeneous signal on T2-weighted images and inhomogeneous contrast enhancement. No flow voids are demonstrated within the tumor.[8]

Surgical resection is not recommended because of the risk of damage to the facial nerve and favorable prognosis with expectant management.[1] Treatment with oral corticosteroids or interferon α2a may be carried out when rare systemic complications such as cardiac failure or Kasabach–Merritt syndrome are present. However, parotid hemangiomas do not respond well to this therapy.[4]

Conclusion

Thus, it is important to identify this lesion on radiological studies so as to avoid any unnecessary biopsies/fine needle aspiration cytologies. Recent studies have indicated that USG with high-frequency transducer alone can also be adequate in the diagnosis of HAEs in the presence of an appropriate clinical setting.
