Calcium deposit on the lung11/15/2007 |
Does a calcium deposit on the lung always mean it will develop into a cancer?
A calcium deposit or calcification in the lung most of the time is not cancer. It can be from a past fungal infection such as histoplasma infection which is very common in midwest. Sometimes, after radiation or treatment of cancer there can be calcium deposit in the lymphoid tissue. So, calcium deposit in the lung does not mean that it will turn to cancer.
