➡ Calcified Granuloma in the Lungs
A calcified granuloma in the lungs is a small, benign nodule that forms as a result of the body’s attempt to isolate and contain an old infection or foreign substance. Over time, calcium deposits can accumulate within the granuloma, making it visible on an Xray. Calcified granulomas in the lungs are primarily caused by infections or immune responses to foreign substances.

Infections that can trigger granuloma formation include tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium, and fungal infections, such as histoplasmosis or coccidioidomycosis. These infections often result in the body’s immune cells clustering to form nodules within the lung tissue. In addition to infections, inflammatory conditions, and autoimmune diseases can also lead to the development of granulomas.

➡ Symptoms and Complications
The symptoms of calcified lung granulomas can vary and may be mild or absent in some cases. Individuals with lung granulomas may experience a cough, which can be either dry or productive. In some cases, the cough might become chronic and persist for a long time. Patients may also report shortness of breath and difficulty in performing routine activities. Wheezing is another symptom that can be observed in some individuals, especially when the granuloma obstructs the airways. Chest pain is another possible symptom, which can range from mild discomfort to severe, depending on the location and size of the granuloma.

Infections, such as histoplasmosis, can cause additional symptoms like fever and general malaise. When lung granulomas progress or are left untreated, complications could arise. One such complication is the development of fibrosis, which is the thickening and scarring of lung tissue. In severe cases, extensive fibrosis can lead to a condition called pulmonary fibrosis, in which the lungs lose their ability to efficiently exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. This can lead to respiratory failure and other serious health problems.
