The use of the propranolol is a therapeutic alternative in the infantile hemangiomas. The results described in the literature regarding their use place this therapy in one of the first election lines in the treatment of this illness.  An infant of four years of age with left parotid hemangioma was reported. The patient was diagnosed and treated in Cienfuegos Pediatric Hospital and did not have a satisfactory response with the steroids, and with the use of propranolol a complete regression of the lesion was observed, keeping the treatment for one year, not presenting any complication with its use.

Palabras clave : infantile hemangioma; propranolol treatment; parotid tumor.
