what does calcified granuloma in the spleen mean
When the granuloma stays around, the body slowly deposits calcium into the granuloma as the scar matures. Because calcium is easy to see on an x-ray, we often (up to 25% of patients in Ohio) will see some calcified granulomas in the lung and also in other organs, especially the spleen.Often these granulomas appear as small nodules to the radiologist. They are benign and usually asymptomatic.he short answer is that I would not worry about calcified granulomas and this is why. A granuloma is a form of inflammation in the body where immune cells encircle and form a ball around some type of infectious organism and hopefully clears away the infection.
