Özet
Metastatic calcification is the accumulation of calcium deposits in various tissues, especially in the lung, as a result of elevated serum calcium levels. Hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure is the most common underlying cause. Although poorly defined nodular opacities can be seen on chest radiography, CT is more sensitive in demonstrating findings. Recognition of the imaging findings of the lesions is important to prevent unnecessary further interventional procedures and to plan the treatment. In this article, we aimed to present the imaging findings of metastatic calcification lesions in both lungs in a chronic renal failure patient.
