Diffuse lung injury can either heal normally or progress to fibrosis. Calcification in the setting of fibrosis is common. The appearance of mature woven bone is not. We report a patient with extensive diffuse pulmonary ossification and discuss some of the theories relating to the development of this phenomenon.
