    Author: Feuerstein IM, Francis P, Raffeld M, Pluda J.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1990; 14(1):149-51. PubMed ID: 2298984.
    Abstract:
    A case of disseminated Pneumocystis carinii infection is presented. Calcifications of similar character were found by CT in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and kidneys. Biopsy of a calcified axillary lymph node demonstrated necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis, with Pneumocystis organisms and dystrophic calcifications clustered centrally within the granulomas.
