Microlithiasis of Seminal Vesicles and Severe Oligoasthenospermia in Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis (PAM): Report of An Unusual Sporadic Case
Authors
Abstract:
s:696:"Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is classified as an elective dysmetabolic thesaurotic pneumoalveolitis and characterized by the presence within the alveoli of the lungs of myriad of tiny calculi. The classic presentation of the chest radiography is unmistakable with multiple small "sand-like" opacities diffusely involving both lung fields. We present a case of male infertility for hypoposia and severe oligoasthenospermia in a young patient with recurrent haematuria and small calcifications in the seminal vesicles similar to pulmonary microliths. PAM was diagnosed on routine chest radiography, computer tomography (CT), transbronchial biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).";

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the formation of calcium phosphate deposition in the alveoli. Although the disease most often occurs in children, most patients with the disease are diagnosed in adulthood due to the slow progression of the disease inside the lungs. In childhood, it often causes no symptoms, and changes in the lung parenchy...

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare disease of unknown origin in which calcific concretions collect in alveolar spaces. No known cause for the disease had been identified and there appears to be no systemic disorder of calcium metabolism. Plain chest X-ray shows a white lung consisting of fine sandlike micro calcification diffusely scattered throughout both lungs with high density...

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare disease of unknown aetiology. It is characterized by the presence of calcific concretions (calcospherites) inside the alveoli. We present a case of a 22 year old sickle cell anaemia patient with an incidental finding of PAM. This report is to highlight the fact that though rare, PAM is not entirely unheard of in this environment and should be ke...

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. In this case report, we present a case of a 5 year-old girl with complaints of common cold and loss of appetite. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both lungs. High-resolution CT scan illustrated widespread micro-nodular ...
