Editing Dystrophic calcification (section)

== Calcification in dead tissue==
#Caseous necrosis in T.B. is most common site of dystrophic calcification.
#[[Liquefactive necrosis]] in chronic abscesses may get calcified.
#[[Fat necrosis]] following acute pancreatitis or traumatic fat necrosis in breasts results in deposition of calcium soaps.
#[[Infarct]]s may undergo D.C.
#[[Thrombus|Thrombi]], especially in veins, may produce [[phlebolith]]s.
#[[Haematoma]]s in the vicinity of bones may undergo D.C.
#Dead parasites like [[schistosoma]] eggs may calcify.
#Congenital [[toxoplasmosis]], CMV or [[rubella]] may be seen on X-ray as calcifications in the brain.
