“…Sivrikaya et al reported a multiple giant phleboliths case and reviewed literature, they stated the phlebolith diameters were between 1-60 mm. 8 Phleboliths can be seen in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) and CBCT. 7 Contrast-enhanced CT is excellent to reveal phleboliths.…”

Hemangioma is the most common benign vascular tumor of infancy and develops due to endothelial cell proliferation. Hemangioma mostly occurs on head and neck skin and regresses spontaneously within 5-10 years in 50-90% of cases. However, oral lesions show less regression than skin lesions. Hemangiomas are divided into superficial and deep subgroups. Superficial ones are defined as capillaries, deep ones as cavernous and mixed. Blanching of the hemangioma under pressure is characteristic finding.Hemangiomas are more common in women. The most commonly affected area is the tongue and palatal mucosa, and it is rarely observed in the jaw bones. Hemangiomas are usually asymptomatic but there is a bleeding risk. Diagnosis is based on anamnesis and clinical features. 1 Phleboliths are calcified thrombi found in veins, venulesor sinusoidal veins of hemangiomas (especially cavernous type). Head and neck phleboliths are almost always sign of hemangioma. 2

“…In the present case, there was a change in the vestibular contour of the maxillary ridge, confirmed by a cone beam computed tomography exam, in addition to mobility of the incisor teeth. This exam is also capable of identifying soft tissue calcifications (phleboliths) arising from a local inflammatory process 14 …”

Background and AimThe approach to vascular malformations in the face is a challenging step for professionals involved in the treatment of these anomalies. The objective is to describe a rare case of extensive vascular malformation in the face in an adult patient who had previously undergone several unsuccessful treatments during childhood and adolescence.Materials and MethodsA 46‐year‐old female patient reported an aesthetic discomfort in her face due to an increase in the volume of the upper lip and recurrent spontaneous bleeding in the oral cavity. On oral clinical evaluation, a blue‐purple colour, firm consistency on palpation, extension into the oral cavity, and moderate mobility of the incisors in the right hemimaxilla were observed. Angiography, magnetic resonance imaging and cone beam computed tomography were performed to verify the lesion's anatomical limits and hemodynamic properties. Four injections of sclerotherapy with an injection of 5% monoethanolamine oleate foam were performed.ResultsA significant reduction in the extent of vascular malformation was noted. At the moment, the patient had 3 years of follow‐up. She is extremely satisfied with the aesthetic result, and has had no episode of spontaneous bleeding or other complications.ConclusionsThe request for new imaging exams allowed the characterization and precise delimitation of the vascular malformation, guiding the use of a minimally invasive technique using the injection of monoethanolamine oleate foam, providing an effective and satisfactory result for the patient.

“…Los flebolitos son nódulos calcificados idiopáticos poco comunes en la región maxilofacial y se caracterizan por presentar calcificaciones concéntricas radiotransparentes de forma ovalada o circular. Se forman por la acumulación de minerales en un trombo; además, están relacionados con anomalías vasculares (AV), hemangiomas y malformaciones vasculares, o por traumatismos, y se forman por estancamiento vascular ( [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] ).…”

Las alteraciones o trastornos vasculares de los vasos sanguíneos o linfáticos presentan características propias, y la identificación de calcificaciones es un parámetro adecuado para realizar un diagnóstico certero. El objetivo del estudio fue describir las características radiográficas de los flebolitos y determinar si representan un desafío para el diagnóstico radiológico. Según la literatura revisada en las bases de datos de Medline (PubMed), SciELO, Google Escolar y algunas revistas especializadas del área, se determinó que los flebolitos tienen características radiográficas muy particulares, de imágenes concéntricas radiotransparentes y radiopacas que semejan a anillos. Sin embargo, no todas las presentaciones son similares, esto hace el diagnóstico engañoso por otras calcificaciones en esta región, como los sialolitos, cuyo aspecto suele ser parecido. A su vez, está la relación con anomalías vasculares y hemangiomas. Finalmente, la evidencia describe características muy propias de esta lesión, pero es necesario individualizar cada caso, por las diferencias que existe de un paciente a otro.
