The concept of pulmonary stones is not standardized. Sometimes pulmonary stones may refer to calcified lesions in the lungs. Sometimes, complete calcified lesions in the lungs may be found on chest X-ray or chest CT. This situation may be closer to the concept of pulmonary stones. In addition, there is a rare disease called bronchial stones. If the patient shows bronchial stones, it may cause some complications. For example, it may cause airway obstruction, causing patients to show obstructive pneumonia, but also may cause patients to show cough, chest distress and other related symptoms; some patients with bronchial stones can also cause hemoptysis.
