PULMONARY OSSIFICATION WITH CARDIAC CALCIFICATION IN MITRAL VALVE DISEASE

Abstract

Our purpose is to present eight cases of mitral valve disease with disseminated pulmonary ossification, in seven of which there was also massive calcification of the mitral valve or left atrium or both. Of these five were seen by us at this hospital and are the only cases of pulmonary ossification in association with mitral valve disease that have been seen here up to the present: the other three were studied from their records.
