[Disseminated pulmonary ossification. Case report].
Metaplastic pulmonary ossification is usually described as dendriform or nodular in patients with chronic inflammatory lung disease or long-standing pulmonary edema. We present a case of dendriform pulmonary ossification found accidentally at autopsy in a 66-year old man. In addition, some of the theories relating to the development of this rare phenomenon are discussed.
