@entity730 and ossification occurs with a number of systemic and pulmonary conditions. Specific symptoms are often lacking, but @entity730 may be a marker of disease severity and its chronicity. Pathophysiologic states predisposing to @entity730 include @entity2741 , a local alkaline environment, and previous @entity651 . Factors such as enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity, active angiogenesis, and mitogenic effects of growth factors may also contribute. The clinical classification of @entity730 includes both @entity730 , in which @entity460 deposits in previously normal lung or @entity730 , which occurs in previously injured lung. @entity358 can be idiopathic or can result from a variety of underlying pulmonary, cardiac, or @entity74 .
