Atypical alveolar proteinosis

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2018
Alveolar proteinosis is a rare pulmonary disease characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant composed of lipoproteinaceous material, related to a lack of surfactant resorption by alveolar macrophages. Crazy paving pattern is characteristic,

Whole lung lavage combined with Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor inhalation for an adult case of refractory pulmonary alveolar proteinosis [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Whole-lung lavage (WLL) is classically the first-line treatment for symptomatic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). However, some patients require multiple WLLs because of refractory nature of their PAP. In this instance, these patients may

Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis, a Rare Cause of Progressive Restrictive Lung Disease

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
We present a case of a young patient with pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis, initially misdiagnosed and treated for tuberculosis. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed intralveolar calcifications confirming the diagnosis. The patient was treated symptomatically and advised long‐term oxygen therapy during episodes of breathlessness.

Incidence and classification of pediatric diffuse parenchymal lung diseases in Germany [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) in children represent a rare and heterogeneous group of chronic pulmonary disorders. Despite substantial advances in genetics and pathomechanisms, these often lethal diseases are still under-diagnosed.
