RESUMO
Rationale: Phleboliths are idiopathic calcifications resulting from mineralised structures inside veins, venules or blood vessels. Patient Concerns: A 48-year-old woman presented with multiple hard bodies on palpation. Diagnosis: Imaging studies revealed multiple, round, well-defined radiopaque lesions, extending from the coronoid process region down to the base of the mandible. The diagnosis was vascular malformation with multiple phleboliths. Treatment and Outcome: No treatment was proposed and the patient is under follow-up. Take-Away Lessons: Asymptomatic phleboliths of the head and neck region in an adult woman have been under surveillance.
