CTICasesDisappearing Calcified Nodule
Imaging findings
A nodule with central, lamellated calcification and air within it, initially thought to be a granuloma. On follow-up, the calcification completely disappeared without surgical intervention.
Key takeaways
The disappearance of a calcified nodule suggests that the calcification may have been "milk of calcium" or caseous material that drained via communication with the airway rather than solid, fixed mineralized calcium.
