Which of the following vascular lesions has the LEAST clinical significant
Monckeberg&;s medial calcification has the least clinical significance. It represents dystrophic calcification (often visible on x-ray) in the media of muscular aeries. Luminal occlusion does not occur.Aeriolosclerosis is a subclass of aeriosclerosis that primarily involves the aerioles. Hyperplastic aeriolosclerosis involves smooth muscle hyperplasia in the muscle wall with an "onion skin" appearance; This change is paicularly prominent in the kidneys of patients with malignant hypeension or progressive systemic sclerosis.

Glomus tumors (glomangiomas) are painful, benign tumors of modified smooth muscle that are usually located directly beneath the nail bed.
