Diffuse pulmonary calcinosis and multiple soft tissue calcification in renal failure patient with pathological femoral fracture.

Abstract
The rare occurrence of diffuse pulmonary calcinosis is described with case illustration of a patient who presented with a pathological femoral fracture during end-stage renal failure. Associated metastatic soft tissue calcification with parathyroid hyperplasia requiring parathyroidectomy was observed. Roentgenologic evidence of hyperparathyroidism with osteitis fibrosa cystica and a high product of the calcium and phosphate values were indications for the parathyroidectomy. Recent literature review of pulmonary calcinosis and multiple soft tissue calcification is also presented.
