To our knowledge, we report the first case in the literature, describing the appearance of pulmonaryalveolar microlithiasis on DEXA scan with brief review of literature on both pulmonary alveolar microlithiasisand artifacts and incidental findings encountered on DEXA scan.

Özet

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan has been widely used as standard method of assessing bonedensity. Artefacts and incidental findings are frequently encountered on the DEXA scan images, some of whichmay affect bone mineral density values and the others are only of incidental findings. In this case report, wepresent a 44-year-old male diagnosed with pulmonary microlithiasis that was confirmed on a transbronchialbiopsy. To our knowledge, we report the first case in the literature, describing the appearance of pulmonaryalveolar microlithiasis on DEXA scan with brief review of literature on both pulmonary alveolar microlithiasisand artifacts and incidental findings encountered on DEXA scan.
