Phleboliths are calcified thrombi found within a dilated blood vessel. When located in the maxillofacial region, they are commonly associated with hemangiomas or vascular malformations. This article reports an unusual case of a 59-year-old woman presenting with noncalcified phleboliths without evidence of associated vascular anomalies. Therefore, although a radiographic finding of phleboliths in the soft tissues of the head and neck represents evidence that a vascular malformation may be present, these lesions can occur without associated vascular anomalies. The association between the estimated age and elemental composition of the phleboliths in the present case suggests that the calcification process is relatively slow.
静脉石是在扩张血管内发现的钙化血栓。当位于颌面部区域时，它们通常与血管瘤或血管畸形相关。本文报告了一例罕见病例，一名59岁女性出现非钙化静脉石，且无相关血管异常的证据。因此，尽管头颈部软组织中静脉石的影像学表现提示可能存在血管畸形，但这些病变可在无相关血管异常的情况下发生。本例中静脉石的估计年龄与元素组成之间的关联表明钙化过程相对缓慢。
