title: The role of ultrasound and 99mTc RBC scintigraphy in the diagnosis of the salivary gland haemangioma.
abstract: Salivary gland cavernous haemangiomas are relatively uncommon in the child and even rarer in the adult, and provide diagnostic difficulties. This paper demonstrates how the diagnosis can be established using sonography and red blood cell (RBC) scintigraphy.
