Phlebolith

A phlebolith is a small, focal, usually rounded, calcified thrombus within a vein. They are very common in the veins of the lower pelvis; however, phleboliths can also occur outside the pelvic region, including in the oral and maxillofacial (OMF) area. Phleboliths are often incidental findings and are most commonly detected on X-ray and CT imaging. They…
