Repeated haemorrhages in peripheral nerve sheath tumours of the salivary glands are rare. We report the case of a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 who had two episodes of massive haemorrhage in his right parotid gland the day after a minor injury. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons should be aware that vasculopathy may occur in patients with these tumours.
