Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis
Radiologic Findings
Posteroanterior chest radiograph shows bilateral areas of consolidation in the lung. HRCT scans show extensive air-space consolidation and ground glass attenuation. In addition, reticular pattern is apparent, presumably representing thickening of the interlobular septa, showing a typical crazy paving appearance.
