Abstract

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare, idiopatic, and familial disease. It is characterized with commonly presenting calcium phosphate bodies in alveolar space. It is generally asymptomatic when diagnosed. We have presented a typical PAM case according to his history. But the patient had clear signs and symptoms. There were common micronoduler opasities which were more evident in lower lobes in plain chest roentgenogram and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). There was pleural involvement unlike expected situation in literatures. It was precisely diagnosed with transbronchial biopsy.

Özet

Pulmoner Alveoler Mikrolityazis (PAM) nadir görülen, yaygın alveoler kalsiyum-fosfat cisimciklerinin bulunmasıyla karakterize, idiyopatik, ailesel ve tanı esnasında genellikle asemptomatik olan bir hastalıktır. Biz burada başlangıç hikayesi itibariyle PAM için oldukça tipik, ancak tanı esnasında belirgin semptom ve bulgu veren bir olgu sunduk. Radyolojisinde ve yüksek rezolüsyonlu bilgisayarlı tomografide (YRBT), alt loblarda daha belirgin olmak üzere yaygın mikro-nodüler opasiteler mevcuttu. Literatürde beklenenin tersine plevral tutulum vardı. Kesin tanı transbronşiyal doku biyopsisi ile kondu.
