Calcification in a lung during imaging (x-ray, CT) can be caused by an infection that previously healed, by exposure to dust (for instance, silica dust at a job), or can be a sign of cancer or a rheumatological disease. The cause is usually not cancerous. Your health care provider will consider recommended follow-up testing based on your history and physical exam.
