A calcified lymph node is generally not a cause for concern and since there are more than 500 lymph glands in your body, there's a lot of opportunity to acquire one.They are typically the result of an inactive, small, old infection that could have been caused by any number of things and then it remains there unchanged.our lymphatic system contains lymphocytes that work to protect you against bacteria, viruses, etc., that invade your body.

Calcification can be the bodyâs protective response to injury, as well as part of a natural inflammatory reaction to infection, trauma, or autoimmune disorders. Also, tumors (cancerous or noncancerous) can result in calcification within the tumor tissue. Calcification becomes a problem when its location, shape or size interferes with the organ function, such as calcifications that harden and block blood vessels in the heart, brain and kidney. For example, with advancing age both the aortic and mitral valves can thicken and develop calcification deposits. This can lead to decreased efficiency in the heartâs pumping ability. Calcifications that are apparent on mammograms may signal the presence of breast cancer, or they may occur with benign breast disease.
