The differential diagnosis of a tongue mass containing calcified bodies includes a phlebolith associated with vascular lesions, such as hemangioma and vascular malformation, and diseases such as neoplasm, osseous choristoma and hypercalcemic states, including hyperparathyroidism. The appearance of the calcified bodies on plain radiographs may help to differentiate these entities. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography are also useful for differentiating these soft tissue lesions. We report a 40-year-old man with a small mass containing a calcified body in the tip of tongue. The mass was surgically resected and histologically evaluated, confirming the diagnosis of phlebolith. Our case was a rare phlebolith that did not involve a vascular lesion. |
