    Abstract
    Multiple calcifications in salivary glands have been previously reported in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. However, the etiology and mechanism of formation of such calcifications are not yet fully understood. A very rare case of a 50 year female with multiple calcifications and vascular malformation within the left parotid salivary gland is presented. Further investigations of the lesion uncovered an intracranial meningioma in the contralateral posterior cranial fossa. Additional investigations and multidisciplinary specialist management was deemed necessary to shed some light on the degree of association between the ...

    Multiple calcifications in salivary glands have been previously reported in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. However, the etiology and mechanism of formation of such calcifications are not yet fully understood. A very rare case of a 50 year female with multiple calcifications and vascular malformation within the left parotid salivary gland is presented. Further investigations of the lesion uncovered an intracranial meningioma in the contralateral posterior cranial fossa. Additional investigations and multidisciplinary specialist management was deemed necessary to shed some light on the degree of association between the calcific foci within the parotid gland and the intracranial meningioma.
