Abstract
A 49-year-old man was sent to our outpatient service because of abnormal radiographical findings. Except for a sporadic dry cough, he had no symptoms. He had worked as a nursing assistant for the past 15 years and had never smoked. His physical examination showed rare bibasilar fine crackles. The chest radiograph (figure A) and a CT scan (figure B) showed diffuse interstitial markings, with isolated or confluent calcified lines and micronodules (arrows). The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and transbrochial pulmonary biopsies were unremarkable.
