Diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rarely diagnosed entity that may present with characteristic imaging features. It is listed in the differential diagnosis of lung parenchymal calcifications and should be considered by the radiologist if the appropriate findings are identified. We report a case of DPO secondary to mitral stenosis in a patient whose severe cardiac pathology lead to death few weeks after a chest CT was done. To date, there are no specific treatments with proved benefit in this pathology.
弥漫性肺骨化（DPO）是一种诊断罕见的病症，可能具有特征性影像学表现。它被列入肺实质钙化的鉴别诊断中，如果发现合适的表现，放射科医生应予以考虑。我们报告一例继发于二尖瓣狭窄的DPO病例，该患者严重的心脏病变在胸部CT检查后几周导致死亡。迄今为止，针对这种病症尚无经证实有效的特异性治疗方法。
