Ossified bronchial adenoma

ABSTRACT

A case of bronchial adenoma is reported which presented radiologically as an extensively calcified hilar mass on a routine chest radiograph of a patient undergoing surgery for varicose veins. This is of interest because, although bronchial adenomas may present in this way (Zellos, 1962; Baldwin and Grimes, 1967), calcification is not regarded as one of their radiological features. (AU)
