A CT scan confirmed structures resembling calcium nodules not exceeding 1 cm in diameter with peribronchovascular distribution, affecting both lungs mainly in the inferior lobes ( Figure 2). Therefore we attributed the nodules observed in the CT images ( Figure 2) to previous hypercalcemia which possibly led to a process of pulmonary alveolar calcification.
