Venous ectasias of the retromandibular vein are rare lesions that can mimic a parotid mass on imaging. |
Endoscopic coagulation with heater probe, gold probe or argon plasma coagulator obliterates the vascular ectasias and reduces the degree of blood loss. |
Venous ectasias in the neck are uncommon, primarily occurring in the internal and external jugular veins. |
