Abstract

The diagnosis of submandibular lumps is usually straightforward, using a combination of history, examination and simple investigation. Most will turn out to be submandibular salivary gland enlargement or lymph node swellings. We present a case in which conventional investigation failed to help in the diagnosis, and was eventually found to be what we believe is the first capillary haemangioma described in the anterior belly of the digastric muscle.
