  • Title: Idiopathic pulmonary calcinosis: a variant of alveolar microlithiasis.
    Author: Abdullah AK, Jarrar G, Ejeckam GC.
    Journal: East Afr Med J; 1994 Aug; 71(8):543-4. PubMed ID: 7867550.
    Abstract:
    Diffuse pulmonary calcinosis has been observed in hyperparathyroidism, chronic renal disease, vitamin D intoxication, but has never been reported in the absence of any underlying disease. We report the case of a young man in whom diffuse pulmonary calcifications was found without any underlying disease and whose clinical and histological features suggest a variant or an incomplete form ('forme fruste') of alveolar microlithiasis.
