Phleboliths are calcifications within thrombosed veins and are particularly common in the pelvis.
Differentiation from stones is made by
- location not along the course of ureter
- absence of tissue rim sign
- presence of a tail sign, a tubular tail extending from calcification, representing a thombosed vein
- relativey low attenuation of phleboliths (mean value of 160H )
