  A case report is presented of a 27 days old newborn with unilateral parotid mass with no other findings. After discarding infectious and inflammatory causes, image studies by ecography and magnetic resonance were carried out to establish a definitive diagnosis of parotid haemangioma. Haemangioma represents 50% of rare parotid masses in infancy. Absence of premonitory lesions in overlying skin, during the neonatal period, makes diagnosis difficult. Magnetic resonance is the exploration of choice as it allows a precise diagnosis thereby avoiding invasive procedures such as biopsy.
