- A fatty deposit in the intima (inner lining) of an artery; can obstruct blood flow
- (atheromatous) of or relating to or resembling atheroma; "atheromatous degeneration of the arteries"
- In pathology, an atheroma is an accumulation and swelling in artery walls that is made up of cells (mostly macrophage cells), or cell debris, that contain lipids (cholesterol and fatty acids), calcium and a variable amount of fibrous connective tissue. ...

- An abnormal fatty deposit which develops within the walls of arteries
- A condition where the walls of the arteries thicken and the arteries no longer work properly. The disorder occurs when lipid is deposited, or as a result of fibrosis or the growth of smooth muscle tissue.
- Deposits of cholesterol and other fats that cause furring and narrowing of the arteries (also called atherosclerosis).
- Bulging yellow mass or "plaque" that forms within the walls lining the arteries. Atheromas (Italian, porridge) contain a mix of fatty and fibrous scar tissue and, when deposited on the inner wall of an artery, reduce its inner diameter.
- Fatty deposits on the inner walls of blood vessels, which can cause narrowing and decrease blood flow
