CTICasesCalcified Histoplasmomas
Imaging findings
Radiograph and CT show pulmonary histoplasmomas with chunky calcification and additional benign-appearing calcified nodules. There are numerous associated splenic calcifications.
Key takeaways
Chronic histoplasmosis characteristically leaves calcified pulmonary granulomas (histoplasmomas), and the accompanying splenic calcifications are a helpful confirmatory clue to prior disseminated histoplasma exposure. The chunky calcification pattern is typical of these benign healed lesions.
