Can lung calcification be cancerous?

Pulmonary calcification is a disease that occurs in the lungs and is characterized by calcium carbonate deposits. It is often diagnosed by imaging. Pulmonary calcification is often caused by tuberculosis and inflammation. In addition, some tumors may also show calcium-like lesions inside. Therefore, if pulmonary calcification is detected by imaging, it is necessary to determine whether it is caused by cancer according to the size, location, surrounding lesions, length of time and whether there are complications. Patients should be positive about the results of different examinations and active treatment.
