Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis : Six Case Reports
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare hereditary disease of unknown etiology, characterized by intraalveolar calcified microgranules. The roentgenographic differen-tial diagnosis should include miliary tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, pulmonary hemoside-rosis, histoplasmosis, pneumoconiosis, ornithosis and pulmonary adenomatosis. In this study, we report six cases of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis, four of which are from the same family, diagnosed by chest radiograph.
Pulmoner alveoler mikrolitiazis nadir görülen, etyolojisi bilinmeyen, herediter, intraal-veoler kalsifiye mikrogranüllerle karakterize bir hastalıktır. Röntgenografik ayırıcı tanısında milier tüberküloz, sarkoidoz, pulmoner hemosiderozis, histoplazmozis, pnömokonyozlar, ornithozis ve pulmoner adenomatozis gözönünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, tanısı göğüs radyogramları ile konan, dördü aynı aileden altı olgu bildi¬rilmiştir.
