CT detection of calcified nodal metastases of lung adenocarcinoma

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1988 Mar-Apr;12(2):314-6. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198803000-00022.

Abstract

Computed tomography of a right middle lobe mass showed no evidence of calcification. Focal calcification in the right midhilar and subcarinal regions was presumed to be granulomatous. Thoracotomy revealed a partially psammomatous adenocarcinoma of lung and dense psammomatous deposits of adenocarcinoma in calcified regional lymph nodes.
