Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
Radiologic Findings
Chest PA shows pericardiac consolidations in both lungs.
Lung setting images of the chest CT images show multisegmental ground-glass attenuation with internal interlobular septal thickening in the subpleural or peribronchial portion of both lungs.
On the basis of CT findings, pulmonary alveolar proteninosis is highly suspected. So bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage were done. There was turbid fluid material with strongly positive PAS stain in the anterior segment of right upper lobe, consistent with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis(Fig 1). There was irregular elevated mucosal lesion in the posterior wall of left upper lobar brochus. Endobronchial biopsy confirmed the lesion as squamous cell carcinoma(Fig 2), which was not found on chest CT scan. LUL lobecotmy was done.
