description 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.
