Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Clinicoradiological Dissociation.

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare and slowly progressive disease characterized by widespread calcification within the alveoli with a paucity of symptoms in contrast to radiologic findings. We report here a case of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis who presented to us with minimal chest complaints following chest trauma despite extensive imaging findings.
