Crystallized spots on lungs??? ANYONE????

Has anyone ever heard of crystallized spots on the lungs? My husbands
aunt was having a chest x-ray before having a large colon polyp removed
surgically and they just found hundreds of crystallized spots on her
lungs. She went to a specialist today and he said he's never seen anything
like this. They're going to biopsy it Wednesday to see what they find.
(The polyp was just found in a routine colonoscopy and was too large to
remove during the test)

I've done a quick search on the web to try to give her some answers, but
found nothing. Anyone have any knowledge of crystallized spots on the lung?
Thanks, Lee
