Neumonía lipoidea exógena: Una causa inhabitual de nódulos pulmonares: casos clínicos / Exogenous lipoid pneumonia: report of three cases

ABSTRACT

Lipoid pneumonia is an unusual cause of aspiration pneumonia with diverse radiologic manifestations. One of these are pulmonary nodules in which the main differential diagnosis is pulmonary carcinoma. We report an 85 years old male, an 85 years old female and a 34 years old male in whom percutaneous biopsies of suspicious nodules were compatible with lipoid pneumonia.
