This report describes a case of cavernous hemangioma in the submandibular gland of a 37-year-old Irish woman. The lesion clinically and radiologically (as shown both by plain radiographs and computed tomography imaging) resembled salivary calculous disease. Numerous phleboliths were present in the hemangioma. The rarity of a cavernous hemangioma in such a location and its simulation of salivary calculous disease stimulated us to report the case.
