Ossifying pulmonary metastases
Ossifying pulmonary metastases are pulmonary metastases than contain bone forming (ossific) components. On imaging, they can be challenging to differentiate from calcifying pulmonary metastases.
Pathology
They can arise from a range of primary tumors (some of which also cause calcifying pulmonary metastases). These include
Differential diagnosis
On imaging consider
- calcifying pulmonary metastases
- pulmonary ossification from other causes
- diffuse pulmonary ossification
