Venous malformations (VMs) are a type of vascular malformation formed by abnormally developed venous channels, with variations in size, pathway and thickness and are therefore a condition which can predispose to thrombosis. We present the case of a VM associated with phlebothrombosis/phlebolith, located on the lingual dorsum of a 20-year-old female patient. Clinical examination revealed a nodule of approximately 5 mm in diameter involving the anterior third of lingual dorsum, with a firm, compressible and non-pulsatile consistency.

- Infectious diseases account for about 12% of deaths in people with diabetes, with mucormycosis, caused by a specific fungus, being a notable concern due to its high mortality rates and increasing resistance.
- The rise in global cases of mucormycosis is linked to the higher prevalence of diabetes, which creates an environment that favors the fungal infection.
- Understanding the pathways and mechanisms of the fungus, including its interaction with the body's immune system, is crucial for developing better antifungal treatments and prevention strategies.
