This case report describes a 46-year-old female referring with a history of peripheral facial hemangioma who mentioned the lesions since her early childhood. In clinical facial examination, the blue-red exophytic lesions in the right side of the face were observed. Besides, multiple radiopaque phleboliths were observed in panoramic radiograph. In this patient, the absence of complete regression of hemangioma as opposed to the age, as well as the presence of pathognomonic radiopaque phleboliths were observed.
