Dendriform pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rare condition defined as disseminated, widespread heterotopic bone formation within the lungs. This condition is associated with restrictive pulmonary disease, such as interstitial pneumonia or fibrosis. The clinical features and pathophysiologic mechanism of DPO remain unclear, however. We report a case of a 66-year-old man with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis accompanied by DPO who was treated with a double-lung transplant. His postoperative course was uneventful without recurrence of DPO.
树突状肺骨化（DPO）是一种罕见的疾病，定义为肺部内弥散性、广泛的异位骨形成。这种情况与限制性肺病有关，如间质性肺炎或纤维化。然而，DPO 的临床特征和病理生理机制仍不清楚。我们报告了一例 66 岁的特发性肺纤维化伴 DPO 患者，他接受了双肺移植治疗。他的术后过程顺利，没有出现 DPO 复发。
