    Abstract:
    : Diffuse pulmonary ossification is a rare clinical entity in which mature bone formation occurs within the pulmonary tissues. It has been associated with multiple pulmonary and systemic conditions and may be an indicator of disease severity and chronicity. It is often diagnosed only post mortem, because of its variable presentation with either very significant findings, mimicking other serious conditions, or very subtle onset unrecognized on imaging. In this report, we present the clinical presentation and findings in a case of diffuse pulmonary ossification diagnosed by transbronchial biopsy in a living patient.
