A member asked:

What does a calcified node above the left hilum meaning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Site of healing: Here in kansas city, many (probably most) of us have little calcified granulomas from where we met and walled off histoplasmosis. Tb can do the same thing. It's little cause for concern; rarely these calcium nuggets get sharp edges and can scrape the surrounding structures.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
