    Author: Filippov VP, Bolotov PA, Lovacheva OV, Sidorova NF, Vasil'ev VIu.
    Journal: Vrach Delo; 1989 Nov; (11):36-8. PubMed ID: 2609583.
    Abstract:
    A study is presented of 52 patients with disseminated pulmonary lesions. Among them: histiocytosis X--17, alveolar microlithiasis--5, pulmonary phospholipoproteinosis--7, idiopathic hemosiderosis--14, primary pulmonary amyloidosis--1, primary diffuse lung tumours--8. All patients were subjected to complex bronchological examination including use of different biopsy transbronchial methods as well as open biopsy of the lung. The diagnostic value of the employed bronchial biopsies is discussed. A diagnostic algorithm of rarely met pulmonary disseminations has been developed. Recommendations on the use of different instrumental methods are formulated.
