Aortolith

/eɪˈɔːrtəlɪθ/ noun

Definition

A stone or calcified deposit that forms inside the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart.

Etymology

From Greek 'aorta' (the main artery) combined with 'lithos' (stone). This medical term was coined as doctors encountered and studied calcium deposits in aortic tissue during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Kelly Says

While kidney stones are common, aortoliths are extremely rare—but when they do form, they represent fascinating pathological mineralization happening in the body's most important blood vessel, like a stone forming in a highway!
