Microlitíase alveolar pulmonar
ORPHA:60025CID-10 · J84.0CID-11 · CB06OMIM 265100DOENÇA RARA

A microlitíase alveolar pulmonar é uma doença na qual pequenos fragmentos (micrólitos) de fosfato de cálcio se acumulam gradualmente nos pequenos sacos aéreos (alvéolos) dos pulmões. Esses depósitos eventualmente causam danos generalizados aos alvéolos e ao tecido pulmonar circundante (doença pulmonar intersticial). Pessoas com esse distúrbio também podem desenvolver tosse persistente e dificuldade para respirar (dispneia), especialmente durante esforços físicos. Dor no peito que piora ao tossir, espirrar ou respirar fundo é outra característica comum. Pessoas com microlitíase alveolar pulmonar também podem desenvolver depósitos de fosfato de cálcio em outros órgãos e tecidos do corpo. Embora o curso da doença possa ser variável, muitos casos progridem lentamente para fibrose pulmonar, insuficiência respiratória ou cor pulmonale. A única terapia eficaz é o transplante pulmonar. Em alguns casos, a microlitíase alveolar pulmonar é causada por mutações no gene SLC34A2 e herdada de forma autossômica recessiva.

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis

Rare disease characterized by the deposition of calcium phosphate microliths throughout the lungs. Most patients are asymptomatic for several years or even for decades and generally, the diagnosis is incidental to clinical investigations unrelated to the disease. Cases with early-onset or rapid progression are rare. A 'sandstorm-appearing' chest roentgenogram is a typical diagnostic finding. The onset of this potentially lethal disease varies from the neonatal period to old age and the disease follows a long-term, progressive course, resulting in a slow deterioration of lung functions. Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a recessive monogenic disease with full penetrance.

Case Report: Novel compound heterozygous mutations in SLC34A2 gene: a case of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis in a child.

Frontiers in pediatrics2026

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM), a rare disorder caused by SLC34A2 mutations, demonstrates clinical-radiological discordance. Pediatric cases face heightened diagnostic challenges; nonspecific presentations often result in misattribution to recurrent pneumonia or delayed diagnosis, especially in children ≤5 years. We present a case of a 3-year-old girl hospitalized for persistent cough (11-day duration) and intermittent fever (9-day history). Her recurrent productive cough had been misattributed to recurrent pneumonia in prior healthcare encounters. Diagnostic imaging revealed extensive calcifications in the left lower lobe on chest CT, accompanied by small clustered onion-like calcifications in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF). Sputum culture identified Haemophilus influenzae infection. Genetic analysis revealed novel compound heterozygous variants in SLC34A2: c.524-1G>C (IVS5) inherited maternally and c.910A>T (EX8) of paternal origin. The patient was diagnosed with PAM complicated by Haemophilus influenzae pneumonia. These compound heterozygous SLC34A2 variants represent previously unreported pathogenic mutations. We conclude that heightened attention should be directed toward detecting calcifications on mediastinal and bone windows during pediatric imaging examinations. Genetic analysis plays a pivotal role in diagnosing rare childhood disorders and may emerge as the primary diagnostic modality for PAM in pediatric populations.

Decoding the Invisible: A Diagnostic Odyssey of Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis From the Desert State of India, Rajasthan.

Cureus2026 Jan

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare depositional disorder that carries an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. It may present at any age and is usually detected incidentally with an abnormal chest X-ray. Most patients are asymptomatic or have minimal symptoms at the time of detection of the disease. Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old female patient who presented with an illness duration of six months and complaints of dry cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath. She was started on anti-tubercular treatment on clinical grounds by her physician, but was not relieved of her symptoms. This case highlights the importance of having PAM in the differential diagnosis. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of PAM from Rajasthan, a desert state of India, in spite of many institutional and monetary challenges.

Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis, a Rare Cause of Progressive Restrictive Lung Disease.

Respirology case reports2026 Feb

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the SLC34A2 gene often misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis due to nonspecific clinical features and radiological overlap. Diagnosis is confirmed on a histopathological basis; however, no definitive treatment strategy exists. A 20-year-old female presented to us with progressive shortness of breath for 1 year. Physical examination revealed clubbing of fingers with diffuse lung crepitations. Imaging revealed a 'sandstorm-like' appearance and diffuse reticulonodular pattern. Transbronchial biopsy confirmed pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis. This case underscores the importance of identifying characteristic radiological and histopathological features of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis to avoid misdiagnosis and timely management of the disease.

Interstitial Lung Diseases Presenting as Small Nodules: Imaging Phenotypes.

Seminars in roentgenology2026 Jan

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a diverse range of conditions that lead to inflammation and/or scarring of the lung interstitium, often affecting airspaces and resulting in a progressive decline in lung function. High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) is a crucial diagnostic tool for ILDs, and their characterization based on imaging. This article specifically focuses on ILD presentations characterized by small lung nodules on HRCT, defined as those measuring less than 10 mm. Small nodules on HRCT are analyzed based on size, distribution, borders, attenuation, associated findings, and temporal evolution to narrow diagnostic considerations. A key factor is the distribution pattern, which is placement within the secondary pulmonary lobule and axial interstitium. Based on their distribution pattern relative to the anatomical core of the lobule, small nodules are classified into 3 specific imaging phenotypes: perilymphatic, centrilobular, and random. Perilymphatic nodular phenotypes typically involve disease processes affecting the pulmonary lymphatics along the interlobular septa, pleura, fissures, and/or bronchovascular bundles. Common conditions include Sarcoidosis, Occupational lung diseases such as coal worker pneumoconiosis (CWP) and silicosis, Chronic beryllium disease, Granulomatous and Lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GL-ILD), Pulmonary septal amyloidosis, Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis, Diffuse Pulmonary Ossification. Centrilobular nodular phenotypes are centered on the core structures of the secondary pulmonary lobule, including bronchioles, pulmonary arterioles, and central lymphatic vessels. They can be nonbranching (solid or ground-glass attenuation) or branching, often appearing as a "tree-in-bud" morphology. Nonbranching centrilobular nodules are seen in conditions such as Nonfibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), Respiratory bronchiolitis (RB), Follicular bronchiolitis (FB), Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP), Metastatic pulmonary calcification (MPC), Pulmonary hemosiderosis, and Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Branching centrilobular nodules ("tree-in-bud") are typically not associated with ILDs and often indicate Infectious bronchiolitis, Aspiration and other disorders. Random pulmonary nodular phenotypes refer to nodules without a consistent relationship to the secondary lobule or other lung structures. While profuse perilymphatic nodules (e.g., in sarcoidosis and occupational lung diseases) can appear randomly distributed, true random patterns are characteristic of hematogenous infections or miliary metastases.
