Deskripsi
Hemangiomas are common finding among head and neck angiomatous benign lesions especially among infants and young children but association with phleboliths is a relatively rare entity. Changes in blood flow dynamics within hemangioma results in thrombus and phlebolith formation. We report a relatively rare case of a large parapharyngeal space hemangioma in a 13 year old male child associated with multiple phleboliths on CT-scan imaging and successful surgical excision and the literature is reviewed.
