Pulmonary ossification is also known as metaplastic bone formation. It is a rare and incidental post-mortem finding. Dendriform and nodular pulmonary ossification are the two forms which are recognized, and they are usually associated with systemic or primary lung pathology. Its awareness is necessary to correctly diagnose and differentiate them from other lung pathologies. Histopathology aids in the accurate diagnosis of this dormant entity. Herein, we present an autopsy case of a 37-year-old male with pulmonary ossification discovered incidentally during an autopsy.
肺骨化也被称为化生骨形成。它是一种罕见的尸检偶然发现。树状和结节状肺骨化是已被认可的两种形式，它们通常与全身性或原发性肺部病变相关。认识到它对于正确诊断并将其与其他肺部病变区分开来很有必要。组织病理学有助于准确诊断这种隐匿性病变。在此，我们报告一例37岁男性的尸检病例，其肺骨化是在尸检过程中偶然发现的。
