Abstract

Lipoid pneumonia (LP) is defined as the sum of clinical and radiological abnormalities due to aspiration of oil based foreign materials. There are two kinds of LP defined in the literature. Exogenous LP is associated with aspiration of oily materials into the airways and the lung parenchyma consciously or accidentally as in fire-eater’s lung. Endogenous LP is a more complicated situation that occurs when an endogenous lipoid material fills the alveolar space without a history of aspiration. It is associated with certain conditions like bacterial pneumonia. The pathogenesis is similar to alveolar proteinosis. We report a case of non-resolving pneumonia finally diagnosed as exogenous LP caused by aspiration of a liquid laxative.

Özet

Lipoid pnömoni (LP) akciğere yağ bazlı sıvı aspirasyonu sonrası ortaya çıkan klinik ve radyolojik bir tablodur. Literatürde tanımlanmış iki tür LP mevcuttur. Ekzojen LP ateş yiyenlerde olduğu gibi yağlı maddenin hava yolları ve akciğer parankimine istemli olarak ya da kaza sonucu aspirasyonu ile oluşur. Endojen LP ise lipid yapıdaki endojen materyalin aspirasyon öyküsü olmaksızın alveoler boşlukları doldurması ile ortaya çıkan daha ciddi bir tablodur. Endojen LP bakteriyel pnömoni gibi bazı klinik durumlara eşlik eder. Patogenez alveolar proteinozla benzerdir. Burada rezorbe olmayan pnömoninin bir nedeni olarak laksatif aspirasyonuna bağlı ekzojen LP olgusu sunulacaktır.
