ALHE and Kimura's disease (KD) share many clinical and histopathological features. Ill-defined, deeply seated lesions involving the parotid glands are frequently observed in KD, and only three cases of intraparotid ALHE have been reported in the literature. Often these benign angioproliferative lesions of unknown etiology will be misdiagnosed as parotid tumors clinically. We report a case of ALHE in a 29-year-old Indian male who presented with unilateral parotid enlargement. The previous fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) report indicated parotid sialadenitis but histopathological examination following superficial parotidectomy of the lesion allowed us to make a definitive diagnosis.}, URL ={https://www.archintsurg.org/article.asp?issn=2278-9596;year=2015;volume=5;issue=4;spage=217;epage=219;aulast=Lyngdoh;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.archintsurg.org/article.asp?issn=2278-9596;year=2015;volume=5;issue=4;spage=217;epage=219;aulast=Lyngdoh;t=6} }
