Spiral CT chest (Fig-2a, b, c) was performed with findings of multiple paratracheal, tracheobronchial, hilar, carinal and peribronchial calcified lesions of variable sizes, situated closely to bronchial lumen, suggestive of calcified lymphadenopathy associated with fibrocalcific lesions and parenchymal infiltrations with bronchiectasis changes in both upper and middle lobes with minimal left pleural effusion--features suggestive of Chronic pulmonary tuberculosis.

X-ray Chest revealed calcified lesions both in mediastinum and lung parenchyma and fibrocalcific lesions in lung fields, but failed to show the exact location of calcifications in relation to the bronchus.

Second, they document greater numbers of periadventitial infiltrating macrophages in clinical specimens of coronary atherosclerosis with large lipid cores than in fibrocalcific or nonatherosclerotic vessels.

These could be in the form of volume loss, parenchymal scarring, fibronodular or fibrocalcific densities and compensatory hyperinflation.

In addition, macrophage density in the periadventitial fat of lipid-rich plaques is increased compared with fibrocalcific plaques.

We compared 32 arterial segments containing lipid cores (American Heart Association classification types IV and Va) against 24 arterial segments containing stable, fibrocalcific plaques (types Vb and Vc) positive for the KP-1 monoclonal antibody.
