title: CT evidence of calcification within a small cell carcinoma of the lung.
abstract: Calcification in bronchogenic carcinoma is rare. When found it is usually focal in nature and felt by many to be coincidental granulomatous disease. To our knowledge this case report is the first computerized tomography (CT) description of diffuse, amorphous calcification in bronchogenic carcinoma, specifically, small cell.
