title: Case of non-involuting congenital haemangioma.
abstract: A 4-year-old boy presented with a congenital vascular tumour behind his right ear. It had remained unchanged since birth and was asymptomatic. The parents sought a diagnosis and treatment. Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a fast-flow, lobulated vascular mass. Histology showed features of a non-involuting congenital haemangioma. Glucose transporter-1 staining was negative. The tumour was surgically excised without complication and has not recurred.
