Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Case Report.

We report the case of a 33-year-old Omani male who was referred to our institute with a history of fever and shortness of breath. A chest radiograph revealed bilateral dense consolidation. Chest computed tomography showed bilateral dense interlobular thickening and extensive consolidations with a lower lung predominance. Our findings were highly suggestive of PAM. The diagnosis was confirmed by bronchoalveolar lavage. PMID: 32328294 [PubMed]
