FIRST PARAGRAPH: Hemangiomas are benign tumors of endothelial cell origin (benign hemangioendotheliomas). They are the most common salivary gland tumor in children younger than 1 year of age, accounting for 90% of cases. Hemangiomas in adults are uncommon. The characteristic features of hemangiomas are the rapid enlargement of a unilateral (usually on the left), compressible, bluish mass shortly after birth, particularly in girls. Hemangiomas are not associated with any syndrome.
