Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare lung disease characterized by small calculi, called calsispheritis, in the alveoli. The disease usually presents at age 20 to 30 years and is mostly diagnosed incidentally or detected on routine pulmonary roentgenograms. The radiologic findings are pathognomonic for the disease. Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis most frequently appears in Turkey, followed by Italy. We present the case of a 29-year-old female textile worker found to have widespread micronodules after a routine pulmonary roentgenogram.
