Pulmonary ossification is a rare and usually asymptomatic finding reported as incidental in lung biopsies. Similarly, idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare cause of pulmonary infiltrates. We report the case of a 64-year old man with chronic respiratory symptoms in whom these two histopathological findings converged.
肺骨化是一种罕见的、通常无症状的表现,在肺活检中多为偶然发现。同样,特发性肺含铁血黄素沉着症是肺部浸润的罕见病因。我们报告了一例64岁有慢性呼吸道症状的男性患者,其身上出现了这两种组织病理学表现。
