From the case:

A number of rounded calcific densities are seen in the proximal forearm with soft tissue swelling. These have appearances consistent with phleboliths and imply an underlying vascular malformation.
From the case:
Low flow venous malformation
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/8975/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
A mass with high T2 and mixed T1 signal is seen within which are embedded the phleboliths seen on plain films. Features are consistent with a low flow venous malformation.
Case Discussion
Low flow venous malformation in the forearm of a 14-year-old girl. Note the phleboliths, which are a key clue to the diagnosis.
