Microlitíase alveolar pulmonar é uma doença idiopática rara na qual concreções de compostos de cálcio e fósforo se acumulam em espaços alveolares. Um transtorno sistêmico do metabolismo do cálcio não foi identificado, e os níveis séricos de cálcio e fosfato são normais. Tosse e dispneia são os sintomas de apresentação mais comuns. Expectoração de microlitos tem sido relatado. Crepitações inspiratórias, baqueteamento digital e sinais de cor pulmonale podem estar presentes na doença mais avançada. | |||
