Extensive diffuse pulmonary ossification

E D Fried et al. Chest. 1992 Nov.

Abstract

Diffuse lung injury can either heal normally or progress to fibrosis. Calcification in the setting of fibrosis is common. The appearance of mature woven bone is not. We report a patient with extensive diffuse pulmonary ossification and discuss some of the theories relating to the development of this phenomenon.
