Breast J. 2006 Sep-Oct;12(5):467-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1075-122X.2006.00305.x.

Abstract

Phleboliths are commonly found on conventional radiographs of the pelvis. However, phleboliths detected on mammography are extremely rare. We report one case of phleboliths detected on mammography that were in varicosities adjacent to a venous aneurysm.
