Dendriform pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rare condition characterized by branching bony spicules found in association with pulmonary fibrosis. The authors report two cases, the first of which occurred in a patient with acute myeloblastic leukemia and was associated with the unique finding of leukemic involvement of marrow spaces in the metaplastic bone. The second case showed DPO in combination with asbestosis, a heretofore unreported association.
树枝状肺骨化（DPO）是一种罕见的病症，其特征是在肺纤维化区域出现分支状骨针。作者报告了两例病例，第一例发生在一名急性髓细胞白血病患者身上，其特征是在化生骨的骨髓腔中有白血病浸润这一独特发现。第二例显示DPO与石棉沉着病并存，这是一种此前未报告过的关联。
