Hemangioma Presenting With Multiple Phleboliths: Case Report with CBCT Findings
Abstract
Hemangiomas are benign tumors of infancy that display a rapid growth phase with endothelial cell proliferation. Phleboliths are calcified thrombi found in veins, venulae and sinusoidal vessels of hemangiomas. In the head and neck, phleboliths nearly always signal the presence of a hemangioma. Hemangioma with multiple phleboliths is described including its features on panoramic radiography and cone beam computed tomography images.
