They are characterized by a fast proliferation phase followed by gradual involution. While most IHs follow a predictable course, those involving the parotid gland pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their location and potential for functional impairment. This case illustrates an unusual example of unilateral parotid hemangioma with prolonged growth, requiring alternative management strategies.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>A two-month-old girl presented with a large unilateral parotid hemangioma, first noted on the 15th day of life, which had been rapidly increasing in size. Oral propranolol was initially prescribed, but treatment was not started by the parents, and the patient was lost to follow-up.
