Hemangioma is a common tumor in the region of oral surgery, but cases including phlebolith are relatively rare.<BR>We encountered a case of hemangioma with a phlebolith on the tip of the tongue. We analyzed the composition of the phlebolith using computer aided microanalyser and energy dispersive spectrometer.<BR>The patient was an 82-year-old woman with swelling on the tip of the tongue.<BR>The tumor was resected using an Nd-YAG laser. The tumor was 10×10×10 mm in size, and the phlebolith was 1.5×1.2×1.0 mm in size. Histopathological diagnosis indicated cavernous hemangioma.<BR>The main components of the phlebolith were found to be Ca and P using the energy dispersive spectrometer, and the Ca/P ratio was 1.86. Ca and P was recognized in the center region of the phlebolith by computer-aided microanalyser finding.
