Metastatic pulmonary calcification refers to calcium deposition in the normal pulmonary parenchyma and this deposition is secondary to abnormal calcium metabolism. The most common radiologic manifestation consists of poorly-defined nodular opacities that are mainly seen in the upper lung zone. We present here a case of metastatic pulmonary calcification that manifested as atypical, dense, calci...

A 44-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital in August 1999 for multiple large nodules detected on chest roentgenogram in an annual health check. Chest CT scans showed bilateral large nodules (>10 mm in diameter) with irregular margins and multiple thin walled cystic lesions. From these radiologic examinations, we suspected pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Histological examination o...
