Medial calcific sclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis that has no significant clinical impact.
It is also known as Moenckeberg medial calcific sclerosis, calcific medial sclerosis of Monckeberg, and Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis (also written Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis).
General
- Usually of no clinical consequence.
- May impact vascular assessments using ultrasound.[1]
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Medial calcification (purple irregular stuff on H&E -- calcium phosphate).
Note:
- Lumen unaffected.
- It has been suggested that it usually involves the internal elastic lamina.[3]
DDx:[4]
- Atherosclerosis (severe) - intimal hyperplasia with stenosis, calcifications typically in tunica intima.
