➡️ 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 X-ray. 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.

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

[@jay-resparagoza6796]

[@Stella20450]

What about solid spiculated lung nodules? Can they be benign?

[@JustPlainMimi62]

How large? Spiculated may need a biopsy.

[@technicalgiant4u]

I am having chest pain on left side after 3 months coughing, now in CTSCAN granuloma is found.. Still its paining while going to sleep or in any heavy actions...

[@Anil-ce9hr]

Hi, could you please update on your present health condition. I am having similar symptoms

[@lyraquillas5437]

i dont have any lung symptoms but granuloma. But these past days im starting to have skin rashes out of nowhere. And im also still waiting for result of my sputum culture test result.

[@mohitarora177]

Same happened with me, any update on diagnosis?

[@reneemcmillan3865]

I have so much pain in my lungs from non tuberculosis mycobacterium. Maybe I have this too

[@pameladerouen]

I have had non tuberculosis mycobacterium 16 years ago. That’s when I found out that I had COPD.

[@unskilled822]

which exam did show up copd? i did some X-ray for lung pain specially when exerting at one side as if a rib was piercing my lung when i exhale, but so far the imaging show relatively normal lung except for some sort of wounds or scars from smoking, however i went doomscrolling and the scars seem to be related to some form of lung fibrosis, im not an expert tho but its worrying, im just not as fit as i used to when i was younger and it shows sometimes, my heart rate spikes with little exertion but im very slim and weightless @@pameladerouen

[@najmabegum5789]

​@@pameladerouen16 years ago, wow. Please tell me how you maintained it that long eg the treatment, diet etc

[@pameladerouen]

@@najmabegum5789 There is really nothing that was done about it. I took much prednisone that hurt my stomach. And didn’t help with my bones Now I have severe arthritis in my knees and cannot have knee surgery because of my COPD. I always have cleaned my hands a lot so there was nothing different that I did. My right lung collapsed twice and had to have surgery on that in 2014. (Pleurodesis). The surgeon tried to take out some of the damaged tissue of my lung but it only kept tearing. So that wasn’t good. I always have trouble breathing. But praise God he wakes me up each morning!!

[@freepongquelini.loanfirm6309]
