Hallazgo de flebolitos en la región bucal: Reporte de dos casos

Thrombi formed in blood vessels, although typically experienc-ing normal blood flow, may undergo mineral deposition, resulting in the forma-tion of phleboliths. When affecting the oral region, they can lead to facial asym-metry due to volume increase, imparting a bluish appearance to the mucosa. Despite phlebolith diagnosis often being incidental, distinguishing them from other calcifications becomes imperative. This article presents two pertinent clinical cases: the first associated with a traumatic event clinically diagnosed as a probable sialolith, and the second case, initially identified as a phlebolith, showed no association with vascular pathology. These cases underscore the im-portance of considering the presence of phleboliths in the differential diagnosis of vascular lesions and other calcifications in the oral region. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity for a meticulous approach and detailed assessment to determine the origin and nature of calcifications in the oral mucosa to ensure appropriate treatment and mitigate potential complications.
