Calcareous
Definition:
(a.) Partaking of the nature of calcite or calcium carbonate; consisting of, or containing, calcium carbonate or carbonate of lime.

Phlebolith
Definition:
(n.) A small calcareous concretion formed in a vein; a vein stone.
Example Sentences:
(1) Pelvic phleboliths are common and are generally considered to be harmless.
(2) Pelvic phleboliths are familiar structures to radiologists although their pathogenesis is not fully understood.
(3) Tiny calcifications representing phleboliths were detected in those lesions.
(4) MR imaging was superior to computed tomography and angiography for demonstrating the precise anatomic extent of the facial vascular anomalies and their relationship to the adjacent soft tissues but was inferior to computed tomography for demonstrating radiopaque structures such as trophic bone changes and phleboliths.
(5) Two cases are described where pelvic phleboliths were associated with thrombosis.
(6) CT scanning revealed a large mass with phleboliths throughout the true pelvis and nodular indentations in the rectosigmoid wall involving the dome and posterior wall of the bladder.
