A calcified granuloma is a granuloma containing calcium
deposits. Since it usually takes some time for calcium to be deposited in a granuloma,
it is generally assumed that a calcified granuloma is an old granuloma.
A granuloma is one of a number of forms of localized nodular inflammation found
in tissues. The fact that a granuloma is localized is important. So is its nodularity.
Granulomas have a typical pattern when examined under a microscope.
Granulomas can be caused by a variety of biologic, chemical and physical irritants
of tissue. For example, a calcified granuloma in the lung may be due to tuberculosis
contracted years earlier that is now dormant.
