| Summary: | Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the parotid gland is an extremely rare condition with very few cases reported in the literature.

Here, we present a case of AVM of parotid gland with its clinical features, radiographic features and its management. The lesion, being a high flow one, was managed with sclerosing agents to regress its size. |
