Abstract
Metastatic pulmonary calcification occurs in a chronic form in patients with malignancy, chronic renal failure, and primary hyperparathyroidism. A rapidly progressive form is associated with renal transplant failure. This case report describes chronic progressive pulmonary calcification after successful transplant with no obvious underlying cause.
