Abstract
An uncommon autosomal recessive condition called pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is characterized by the buildup of intra-alveolar calcifications inside the lung parenchyma. In this case report, a 16-year-old female patient with PAM is examined in-depth clinically and radiologically. The patient's radiographs revealed dense consolidation in both lungs. The diagnosis of PAM was confirmed by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), which showed bilateral, extensive and symmetrical distribution of the calcifications. We go over PAM's clinical presentation, imaging traits, diagnostic difficulties, and current therapeutic strategies. In order to provide a complete overview of this uncommon lung illness, we also evaluate relevant research.
