A member asked:
As per x-ray report "a smooth round opacity at left side of pelvis-likely to be phlebolith". what does it mean?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing bad: A phlebolith is calcification in the wall of a vein. They are very common in the pelvis and cause no harm at all.

Stone: This is a benign ( not cancerous) calcificaiton of a blood element or vein valve inside a blood vessel ( usuallya vein) that is of no significance medically...It is solely an xray finding.
