| Description | Small thrombosed varices (diameter,<10mm) in the oral cavity are known to be prevalent in the tongue, lips, and buccal mucosa of elderly individuals. No past reports have described varices larger than 10mm, except in the tongue. We report a very rare case in which a large varix (20×20×15mm) in the midline of the oral floor and including partially organizing thrombosis occurred 3 days before the first visit in an 82-year-old man. This case is the first report of large oral varix in a region other than the tongue. Large oral varix may occur not only on the tongue, but also in any area of the oral cavity.
