Calcified micronodules are small, round structures that form in tissues, primarily in the lungs, due to the deposition of calcium salts. They are often associated with various lung diseases, such as granulomatous infections (e.g., tuberculosis) or chronic inflammation. These nodules can be detected through imaging techniques like X-rays or CT scans and may indicate a previous infection or exposure to certain environmental factors. Their presence can help in diagnosing underlying health conditions.
Calcified Tissue International was created in 1967.
Calcified fibroids are tumors that outgrow their own blood supple leading to degeneration.

No, a tampon can't be mistaken for a calcified fibroid. A tampon would be in the vagina - it can't make its way to the uterus. It doesn't have the same texture/appearance on ultrasound as a calcified fibroid, either.

The xiphoid process is primarily cartilaginous in children and becomes increasingly calcified with age.
former osteoblasts that have become surrounded in bone matrix that is calcified
A non-calcified granuloma is a small mass of immune cells that forms in response to an infection, inflammation, or foreign substance. Unlike calcified granulomas, which contain calcium deposits and are often seen on imaging tests like X-rays, non-calcified granulomas do not have calcium deposits and may require further evaluation to determine their cause.
