ABSTRACT
We describe a 6-year-old girl with homozygous p.Phe508del cystic fibrosis with severe multi-lobar bronchiectasis and obstructive lung disease who was found to have prominent parenchymal calcifications in the right middle lobe on a computed tomography scan of the chest. Histopathology from the calcified area of lung biopsy showed fibrous tissue with chronic inflammation with CD3+ T-lymphocytes and macrophages with no granulomas. Dystrophic calcification was seen within this necrotic debris.
