Ct scan shows 1mm calcified granuloma in lower left lobe (lower thorax). could be from an old back muscle inflammation/injury?. never smoked or had tb/lung infections.

Not from injury: A pulmonary granuloma is not due to a back injury. The good news is that it is not usually anything to worry about if it is stable.

Further evaluation: needed to find the nature of that ' 1mm of calcified granuloma ' are sure of the size , could be due to several other causes besides what you mentioned , cryptococous , sarcoidosis histoplasmosis etc , speak to your doctor , your old back muscle inflammation will not cause .

Insignificant: Calcified granulomas are incidental findings often discovered on imaging exams. It is likely from an old infection or other insult, usually one of which you are not usually aware.

CT scan 1mm calcified granuloma lower left lobe lower thorax. Had hole in lung as premature baby, needed tube, now healed. Could this be the cause?
Had a Chest CT scan, what does this all mean? Anything to worry about? Mild bilateral apical scarring. Calcified right upper lobe granuloma (4, 94). Calcified granulomas are also present (4, 172 and 129). Punctate right lower lobe nodule (4, 229)?
Should I be concerned? CT Scan shows spiculated nodular nodule left upper lobe measures 10 x 7 mm. Could represent a small lung neoplasm but is surrounded by clustered micronodularity, raising the possibility for a focus of infection or inflamation?
