Retromandibular vein ectasia : A parotid mass mimicker

Retromandibular venous ectasia is a rare lesion that may imitate a parotid gland mass. Accurate radiological diagnosis prevents unnecessary invasive procedures. We present the case of a 69-year-old male patient presenting a right-sided, painless, compressible parotid region mass, fluctuating in size...
