Abstract
Since the first description of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) by Puhr in 1933, nearly 500 related cases have been reported worldwide. No effective treatment for PAM currently exists, with the exception of lung transplantation. Herein, we present the case of a 63-year-old woman with PAM who, to the best of our knowledge, is the oldest successful lung transplant recipient with end-stage PAM reported. In addition, the present work reviews the outcomes of other cases of PAM after lung transplantation.
