Can The Condition Of Calcified Gramulomatores Be Cured?
the exrays show I have calcified gramulomatores disease. Can it be healed? I was checked in the army and they thought I had cancer in my lungs, but after carefully looking at xrays they concluded it was bad scaring from chickenpox when I was 10. I have been out of the army since 68 and had no problems. Should I be worried.

Hello
Healed calcified granulomatous lesion will remain as such for life long.In natural course,infection heals by fibrosis and calcifications.
Amount of fibrosis and calcification depend upon severity of infection.It is a healed stage and doesn't require any treatment.
There is no need to be worried about.
This is just an incidental finding.
