A member asked:

Xray result saying that i have a 2mm calcification (soft tissue swelling) overlying the dorsum of my left foot possibly represent phlebolith. meaning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phlebolith: is a tiny bruise or bleeding spot that has healed and over time became hard as a rock ("litho"). It is mineralized and most often contains traces of calcium, magnesium and other minerals. These phleboliths most often will not change or go away, and remains as a small nuisance. If it causes problems, then see a foot surgeon. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
