  We present high-angular resolution observations of the circumstellar disk
around the massive Herbig Be star R Mon (M~8 Msun) in the continuum at 2.7mm
and 1.3mm and the CO 1->0 and 2->1 rotational lines. Based on the new 1.3mm
continuum image we estimate a disk mass (gas+dust) of 0.007 Msun and an outer
radius of <150 AU. Our CO images are consistent with the existence of a
Keplerian rotating gaseous disk around this star. Up to our knowledge, this is
the most clear evidence for the existence of Keplerian disks around massive
stars reported thus far. The mass and physical characteristics of this disk are
similar to thoseof the more evolved T Tauri stars and indicate a shorter
timescale for the evolution and dispersal of circumstellar disks around massive
stars which lose most of their mass before the star becomes visible.
