  • Abstract
    Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign childhood tumors, they are more common in girls and premature babies, and all races are affected with a slight preponderance in whites (Metry). These lesions most commonly occur on the head and neck area, but they can occur anywhere on the body (Paller, 2011). Here, we describe a case of bilateral facial mandibular segment hemangioma with deep and superficial components involving both parotid glands which was managed successfully with propranolol.
