The clinical and pathological features are described of a case of pulmonary calcinosis complicating cystic disease of the renal medulla. A histopathological study of the lung revealed calcification in the alveolar walls and in the blood vessels, predominantly in the pulmonary veins and venules. The calcified deposits were also studied by electron microscopy, and appearances suggestive of active growth of the deposits were recognised. Chemical analysis of the lung revealed a calcium content some 55 times greater than that of a normal lung. There was a five-fold increase in magnesium content. Reference is made to the literature demonstrating that the chemical composition of metastic calcification differs according to whether it is visceral or non-visceral in type.
本文描述了一例合并肾髓质囊性疾病的肺钙化病例的临床和病理特征。对肺部进行的组织病理学研究显示，肺泡壁和血管出现钙化，主要位于肺静脉和小静脉。还通过电子显微镜对钙化沉积物进行了研究，并识别出提示沉积物活跃生长的外观。对肺部的化学分析显示，钙含量约为正常肺的55倍。镁含量增加了五倍。文中引用了文献，表明转移性钙化的化学成分根据其类型是内脏性还是非内脏性而有所不同。
