title: Point-of-Care Ultrasound to Diagnose Infantile Parotid Hemangioma.
abstract: Soft tissue masses are common in the pediatric population and may represent a broad range of conditions. Point-of-care ultrasound can be used for rapid visualization and assessment of soft tissue masses in the emergency setting. We report a case of a pediatric head and neck mass in which point-of-care ultrasound was used to identify an infantile parotid hemangioma.
