    Author: al-Homrany M, Grillo IA, al-Ghamdi B, el-Tahir M, Malatani TS, Khan MR.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 1998; 40(3):205-11. PubMed ID: 9919841.
    Abstract:
    The rare occurrence of diffuse pulmonary calcinosis is described with case illustration of a patient who presented with a pathological femoral fracture during end-stage renal failure. Associated metastatic soft tissue calcification with parathyroid hyperplasia requiring parathyroidectomy was observed. Roentgenologic evidence of hyperparathyroidism with osteitis fibrosa cystica and a high product of the calcium and phosphate values were indications for the parathyroidectomy. Recent literature review of pulmonary calcinosis and multiple soft tissue calcification is also presented.
