Calcification can occur in various parts of the alimentary tract, as shown through clinical imaging examples. These include an appendicolith in the appendix, faceted stones within a Meckel's diverticulum, a calcified appendix epiploica detached from the colon, ingested metallic foreign bodies within the appendix, calcification within a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the stomach causing narrowing, and a calcified mesenteric cyst. The document presents several radiographic images demonstrating different examples of calcification throughout the alimentary tract.
