Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis: high-resolution computed tomography findings in 10 patients.
OBJECTIVE To present the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. METHODS The HRCT scans of 10 adult patients (seven females and three males; mean age, 38.7 years) were retrospectively analyzed. The films were studied independently by two radiologists. RESULTS The most common tomographic findings were ground-glass attenuation and linear subpl...
متن کاملCan chest high-resolution computed tomography findings diagnose pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis?*
OBJECTIVE The present study was aimed at retrospectively reviewing high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in patients with pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis in order to evaluate the frequency of tomographic findings and their distribution in the lung parenchyma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen patients (9 females and 4 males; age, 9 to 59 years; mean age, 34.5 years) were included...
متن کاملRadiographic, CT, and High-Resolution CT Findings of Pulmonary Lymphangiectasis: a case report
Pulmonary lymphangiectasia (PL) is a rare malformation characterized by dilatation of pulmonary lymphatics. This condition occurs mainly in neonatal and newborn patients. A few cases of PL occur in the young children and adult have been reported. We report another case of a 16-year-old female patient presenting with exertional dyspnea and nonproductive cough. Chest radiography shows bilateral c...
متن کاملPulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Rare Case Report
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...
متن کاملA Case Report of Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the formation of calcium phosphate deposition in the alveoli. Although the disease most often occurs in children, most patients with the disease are diagnosed in adulthood due to the slow progression of the disease inside the lungs. In childhood, it often causes no symptoms, and changes in the lung parenchy...
