Zusammenfassung:
Es wird über einen Fall von pulmonaler alveolärer Mikrolithiasis bei einem 50-jährigen Patienten berichtet. Die Diagnose wurde mittels transbronchialer Lungenbiopsie histologisch gesichert. Der radiologische sowie der bodyplethysmographische Befund blieben im Verlauf von 4 Jahren unverändert.
Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis:
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare disease of unknown aetiology, in which calcium phosphate microliths are deposited bilaterally throughout the lung parenchyma. The total number of reported cases is about 400.
A case of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is presented in a 50-year old man for whom the diagnosis was confirmed by histology via transbronchial biopsy.
During a 4-year observation period there was no increase of the disease according to x-ray investigations and with respect to clinical symptoms.
