Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Calcified granuloma is suggestive of old healed lesion due to previous lung infection. It is scar tissue and can not be removed. But for your visa purpose, we have to prove that these lesions are inactive, healed scar. And for this you need to consult pulmonologist and get done CT thorax and bronchoscopy with BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis. If both are negative for active infection, you can argue with visa authority about not having active, infectious disease, and your calcified lesion on chest x-ray is old, inactive, healed scar. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
