pulmonary calcification
Diffuse
pulmonary calcification in end-stage chronic renal insufficiency. Thoracic radiography showing multiple high density micronodular opacities with predominance in both upper lobes, sparing the lowest two thirds of lungs.
Dendriform
pulmonary ossification in a case of usual interstitial pneumonia. Axial chest CT MIP image shows subpleural calcifications with branching and reticular appearance in the right lung. Other similar calcifications, less extensive, are present in the left lung.

pulmonary ossification in a case of usual interstitial pneumonia. Coronal chest CT MIP image shows subpleural calcifications with branching and reticular appearance with predominance in the right lung.

Pulmonary calcification has many causes and varying morphology:
- calcific pulmonary nodules or masses
- nodules
- moderate-sized nodules
- calcified granulomas, e.g. prior thoracic histoplasmosis, recovered miliary tuberculosis (rare)
- micronodules
- moderate-sized nodules
- masses
- pleural fibroma: may sometimes calcify
- pulmonary hyalinising granuloma
- calcifying fibrous pseudotumor of the lung
- nodules
- calcifying pulmonary metastases
- amorphous calcifications
- pulmonary amyloidosis
- metastatic pulmonary calcifications: non-malignant
- other forms of calcification
- pulmonary arterial calcification
- following orthotopic liver transplantation
- following orthotopic heart transplantation
