Abstract

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare chronic pulmonary disease characterized by extensive intraalveolar deposition of small calcified nodules. Approximately 225 cases were reported worldwide. One quarter of these cases were from Turkey. A typical sand-like micronodular pattern throughout both lungs is usully seen on chest radiogram of PAM patients. Consequently most of them were misdiagnosed as miliary tuberculosis. Progression is slox and restrictive type pulmonary function abnormalities develop eventually. Herein, this a 21-year-old female pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis case is peresented to contribute to determine the real frequency of this disease in our country

Özet

Pulmoner alveoler mikrolitiazis akciğerlerde yaygın intraalveoler küçük taş yapılarının birikmesi ile karakterize etyolojisi bilinmeyen nadir bir hastalıktır. Literatürde 55'i Türkiye'den yayınlanmış 225 civarında olgu vardır. Akciğer grafilerinde diffüz retiküler görünümün bulunması nedeniyle sıklıkla millier tüberkülozla karışır. Uzun sürede ilerleme göstererek restriktif tipte solunum fonksiyon testi bozukluğuna yol açar. 21 yaşında kadın hastada tesadüfen saptanan pulmoner alveoler mikrolitiazis olgusu hastalığın ülkemizdeki gerçek sıklığının belirlenmesine katkıda bulunmak amacıyla yayınlanmaya değer bulundu.
