'''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. | |||
==Microscopic== | |||
Features:<ref name=Ref_Klatt7>{{Ref Klatt|7}}</ref> | |||
*Medial calcification (purple irregular stuff on [[H&E stain|H&E]] -- calcium phosphate). | |||
Note: | |||
*Lumen unaffected. | |||
DDx: | |||
*[[Atherosclerosis]] (severe) - intimal hyperplasia with stenosis, calcifications typically in tunica intima. | |||
