Abstract

[INTRODUCTION] Atheroma of the facial artery is an extremely rare disease.

[CLINICAL FINDINGS/PATIENT CONCERNS] Herein, we report an extremely rare case of an atheroma arising from the facial artery, mimicking a parotid gland tumor.

[DIAGNOSES] The preoperative diagnosis was a right-sided parotid gland tumor.

[INTERVENTIONS] We performed removal of the right parotid gland tumor, via a modified face-lift incision.

[OUTCOMES] Histological examination of the specimen revealed an atheroma of the facial artery.

[CONCLUSION] Clinicians should consider atheroma in the differential diagnosis of tumors arising around the parotid gland.
