Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Calcified granuloma in lungs is mostly due to previous healed tuberculosis or lung infection.
No treatment is required as it is inactive lesion.
Yes, he can go abroad but we need to first prove that this Calcified granuloma is noninfectious and inactive.
So consult pulmonologist for this. He will need CT thorax and bronchoscopy.
Of both these are negative for active infections then he can definitely go abroad.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
