  • Title: [Alveolar microlithiasis. Non-invasive diagnosis using alveolar lavage and technetium scintigraphy].
    Author: Epardeau B, Desche P, Tainturier C, Caubarrère I.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 1987; 7(2):154-7. PubMed ID: 3620030.
    Abstract:
    A new case report of alveolar micro-lithiasis shows the diagnostic interest of two non invasive explorations to affirm a radiologic suspicion. Technetium showed calcium in the lung. The broncho-alveolar lavage, realised with a big quantity of fluid, removed the microliths. These two technics together avoid pulmonary biopsy.
