A member asked:
What does it mean to have a calcified granulomas lung disease? is this something serious? is it treatable?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: It is evidence of a prior infection. In other words, it's a scar. It is not serious and does not require treatment. When it is not calcified, we follow them with repeat ct scans over 2 years.

No: Calcified granulomas are a sign of prior TB or a fungal infection called histoplasmosis. They are a common finding and are not serious.
