Pulmonary 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 widespread intra-alveolar microliths, diffuse ground-glass attenuation areas, septal thickening, and black pleural lines - predominantly in the basal regions. transbronchial biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
