When the granuloma stays around, the body slowly deposits calcium into the granuloma as the scar matures. Because calcium is easy to see on an x-ray, we often (up to 25% of patients in Ohio) will see some calcified granulomas in the lung and also in other organs, especially the spleen.Often these granulomas appear as small nodules to the radiologist. They are benign and usually asymptomatic.he short answer is that I would not worry about calcified granulomas and this is why. A granuloma is a form of inflammation in the body where immune cells encircle and form a ball around some type of infectious organism and hopefully clears away the infection.
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.
