Abstract :
The aim of my study is to show that Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) can present at the end stage of pulmonary
fiosis even in young population. It can also have rapid progression.
A 20–year–old Girl, hailed from a village in Orissa, India, presented with gradual onset shortness of eath, weight loss and clubbing of fingers.
Similar complaints were found in her real sister at home and in family history of grand mother‘s who died of eathing difficulty.
On clinical examination, pulmonary function test and X–Ray chest, a possibility of PAM was suspected. Further evaluation by CT scan chest
confirmed its entity. It was in stage IV of CT classification.
She was treated with steroids and with Alendronate Sodium. The suggestion of surgical option was given. After that, we lost to follow up the
patient
