Idiopathic pulmonary ossification [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012 Herein, we report a 50-year-old smoker with chronic cough and no other pre-existing conditions in his medical history. Lung function tests and laboratory findings were normal. The computed tomography showed a bilateral reticulonodular pattern with calcifications (Fig. 1). We performed a thoracoscopic biopsy.

Dendriform Pulmonary Ossification [PDF]
Respiratory Care, 2015 Dendriform pulmonary ossification is a rare condition often diagnosed by either surgery or postmortem examination. We report a 43-y-old man with a history of nonproductive cough for 1 y. His physical examination was unremarkable. Chest computed tomography showed multiple bilateral micronodules in both lower lobes; however, the patient's pulmonary ...
