Parotid gland tumors, especially those of the accessory parotid gland, are rare in infancy. Although infantile hemangiomas have been frequently reported as a cause of parotid gland tumors, their association with the accessory parotid gland has not been reported. This article describes the presentation of a hemangioma of the accessory parotid gland in an infant. Review of the literature and treatment methods are discussed.

D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D018324	Hemangioma, Capillary	A dull red, firm, dome-shaped hemangioma, sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, which grows rapidly and generally undergoes regression and involution without scarring. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life.
