Abstract

Venolymphoma (VL) is a benign condition of oral cavity, but it is misdiagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma. Exact diagnosis can be made only after histopathological examination. In this report the author has presented a case of a 45-year-old male patient with VL of right parotid which was operated. The treatment indicated was complete excision of the lesion, which showed an excellent prognosis with low recurrence rate.
