[A case of lipid pneumonia]
Abstract
The authors discuss the etiology, pathomechanisms, radiological features of lipid pneumonia. The role of bronchoalveolar lavage is stressed in determining this diagnosis. A case is presented of a patient receiving paraffin oil for chronic constipation. The diagnosis was made after identifying the lipid droplets (Sudan III stain) in alveolar macrophages sampled by BAL.
