CT detection of calcified nodal metastases of lung adenocarcinoma.
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.
