Abstract
A case of rapidly progressive metastatic pulmonary calcification associated with a primary hepatic hemangio-endothelial sarcoma prompted study of the autopsy experience with pulmonary metastatic calcification. Twelve additional cases were found in a review of over 7,000 autopsies performed in a twenty year period. One surgical specimen was also studied. Chronic renal disease and primary parathyroid abnormalities accounted for seven of the cases, but the remaining seven were almost certainly due to malignant disease with destructive bone lesions.
