Typically, a Ghon's tubercle resolves without causing any noticeable symptoms. However, in certain instances, it can lead to tuberculosis spreading through the lymphatic system, bloodstream, or lung air sacs. After healing, the tubercle may calcify and could be detected during a routine chest X-ray."}
