PAM is a rare parenchymal Lung disease. Very few case report are available about PAM in Bangladesh. It is diagnosed incidentally during chest radiograph. It is a autosomal recessive disease and is associated with sporadic or familial mutation of SLC 34A2 gene. Many patients are asymptomatic and have either normal or restrictive pulmonary function. Some patients remain static and others progress into pulmonary dysfunction, respiratory failure and corpulmonale.
