Resumo

The turkey wattle sign describes enlargement of a facial mass on dependency of the head and when the sign is present it is pathognomonic of a vascular malformation or haemangioma. We present a case of vascular malformation of the parotid gland in which this sign was demonstrated. The clinical and radiological features of this rare parotid mass are discussed with reference to the literature.
