2023年5月19日 · A calcified granuloma in the lung is a cluster of immune cells with calcium deposits. They can be asymptomatic or cause symptoms such as wheezing and chest pain.

2024年12月17日 · A calcified granuloma in the lungs is a small, hardened mass of tissue that forms when the body’s immune system isolates and walls off an infection, inflammation, or foreign substance.

2024年10月1日 · A calcified granuloma is a cluster of cells that forms as part of an immune response and hardens over time. It’s usually due to an infection and most commonly forms in the lungs, but can...

Calcification in a pulmonary nodule (PN) on imaging indicates a high probability that the lesion is benign. But not all calcified PN are benign and the differential considerations include a primary central lung carcinoid, metastasis and a primary bronchogenic carcinoma.

2023年9月11日 · The etiologies, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, disorders associated with pulmonary parenchymal calcification and ossification, and potential treatment modalities are reviewed here.

2024年10月24日 · Calcified pulmonary nodules are a subset of hyperdense pulmonary nodules and a group of nodules with a relatively narrow differential. The most common cause of nodule calcification is granuloma formation, usually in the response to healed infection.

2009年7月23日 · Calcification in a pulmonary nodule (PN) on imaging indicates a high probability that the lesion is benign. But not all calcified PN are benign and the differential considerations include a primary central lung carcinoid, metastasis and a primary bronchogenic carcinoma.

Pulmonary calcifications encompass a wide range of causes, both common and rare, such as calcified pulmonary nodules from chronic fungal infections and pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis.

2022年10月10日 · Pulmonary calcification has many causes and varying morphology: healed varicella pneumonia. 1. Bendayan D, Barziv Y, Kramer MR. Pulmonary calcifications: a review.

Dystrophic calcifications occur in a damaged lung following an inflammatory process, such as infection, bleeding, or pulmonary infarction. This process is local and organized, involving the deposition of crystalline hydroxyapatite calcium salt in the affected area.
