calcified phleboliths are seen in the pelvis?

Phleboliths are tiny calcifications (masses of calcium) located within a vein. They are sometimes called “vein stones.” The phlebolith starts as a blood clot and hardens over time with calcium. When these calcified masses are found in your pelvis, they are called pelvic phleboliths.

Amorphous calcifications, previously known as indistinct calcifications, are a morphological descriptor for breast calcifications that are small and/or hazy such that no clearly defined shape/form can be ascribed.

Types of breast calcifications Microcalcifications are small. They often occur because of benign (not cancer) changes, but occasionally microcalcifications can be an early sign of cancer. Macrocalcifications are larger. They usually occur because of benign (not cancer) changes and do not need to be investigated.

(p. Punctate calcifications are a subset of round calcifications and, by definition, are <0.5 mm in size. Both these types of calcifications are considered typically benign when regional or diffuse in distribution.

Smooth, rod-like (linear) calcifications filling individual ducts, often in both breasts, can be a sign of mammary duct ectasia, which occurs when the ducts that lead to the nipple get enlarged and fill with fluid. Calcifications with fat necrosis can happen as a result of surgery or radiation to the chest area.

Macrocalcifications (benign coarse calcifications) These are areas of calcium that look like big white dots or dashes on a mammogram. Macrocalcifications are sometimes called benign coarse calcifications. They can develop naturally as breast tissue gets older and are harmless.

The iliac crest is the area where arching bones sit on either side of your pelvis. They look somewhat like wings and extend to your hips and lower back. The iliac crest bones are attached to your oblique muscles.

An example is the pubic symphysis of the pelvis, the cartilaginous joint that strongly unites the right and left hip bones of the pelvis. ... Thus, based on their movement ability, both fibrous and cartilaginous joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or amphiarthrosis.

The most important difference between the male and female skeletons is found at the level of the pelvis. The female pelvis is adapted for gestation: it is not as high and is proportionately wider than that of the male.

The pelvic girdle is a ring of bones attached to the vertebral column that connects the bones of the lower limbs to the axial skeleton. The pelvic girdle consists of the right and left hip bones. Each hip bone is a large, flattened, and irregularly shaped fusion of three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

The pelvis consists of four bones: the right and left hip bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx (see Figure 1). The pelvis has several important functions. Its primary role is to support the weight of the upper body when sitting and to transfer this weight to the lower limbs when standing.

Pelvic bone The pelvic skeleton is formed posteriorly (in the area of the back), by the sacrum and the coccyx and laterally and anteriorly (forward and to the sides), by a pair of hip bones. Each hip bone consists of 3 sections, ilium, ischium, and pubis.

Tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths, are bits of food or debris that collect in the crevices of your tonsils and harden or calcify. They are typically white or light yellow, and some people can see them when examining their tonsils.

Abstract. Vascular calcification can occur in either the intimal or medial layers of the arterial wall. Intimal calcification is associated with atherosclerosis, which is characterized by lipid accumulation, inflammation, fibrosis and development of focal plaques.

The sacrum, sometimes called the sacral vertebra or sacral spine (S1), is a large, flat triangular shaped bone nested between the hip bones and positioned below the last lumbar vertebra (L5). The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, is below the sacrum.
