Aims. Very young stellar clusters and cluster complexes may be embedded in dust lanes along spiral arms in disk galaxies and escape detection in visual bands. Observations in the near-infrared K-band offer an almost unbiased view of such clusters or complexes due to the small attenuation by dust at this wavelength. The objective is to determine their population size, absolute K-band magnitude distribution above the limiting magnitude imposed by the data, and location relative to the spiral pattern in disk galaxies. Methods. All slightly extended sources were identified on deep K-band maps of 46 spiral galaxies reaching at least K = 20.3 mag arcsec-² at a signal-to-noise level of 3. The galaxies had inclination angles <65º and linear resolut...
