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.
