@MickeySegal it is probably worth specifying exactly what location is affected by calcification?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK448185/ "the initial granuloma may continue to grow in layers of inflammatory cells are deposited concentrically in an attempt to control the yeast. There is active inflammation in the periphery, and the central core may have calcification giving the appearance of malignancy. Frequently, a biopsy is done for these pulmonary masses to exclude malignancy"

Lung nodules https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9488618/ "As regards nodule morphological characteristics, besides small size, diffuse, central, laminated or popcorn calcifications, as well as fat tissue density and perifissural location have been recognised as indicative of benign lesions."
