Case report: pulmonary calcification after liver transplantation in children

Br J Radiol. 1995 Aug;68(812):923-5. doi: 10.1259/0007-1285-68-812-923.

Abstract

Pulmonary calcification following liver transplantation is a recognized phenomenon in adults but has not been previously described in children. We describe two children who developed pulmonary calcification after liver transplantation. Pulmonary calcification should be considered after liver transplantation when radiographic changes fail to resolve with appropriate treatment.
