Popcorn calcification refers to amorphous calcifications often with rings and arcs that resemble popped corn kernels. This type of calcification may be seen in many radiological settings including 1:
- chondroid lesions (e.g. enchondroma, chondrosarcoma)
- fibrous dysplasia
- pulmonary hamartomas
- degenerating fibroadenomas of the breast: see popcorn calcification in the breast
- calcified uterine fibroid 3
- hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy in subacute pulmonary histoplasmosis4
They are also seen in metaphyses and epiphyses of long bones of children with osteogenesis imperfecta. In this case, they represent scalloped lucencies with sclerotic margins 2.
