Population

Patients with radiological evidence of pulmonary ossific nodules, typically men aged 20 to 40 years with mitral stenosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and often calcification of the mitral valve.

Pulmonary ossific nodules are classically observed on imaging in young men with mitral stenosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
