Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is commonly found in lungs, mesentery or omentum in the younger population. We hereby report a hitherto unreported case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, arising from the parotid gland in an infant. Diagnosis by histopathology and its treatment by superficial parotidectomy is being presented.
