    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology
    • Rare diseases

    Context:

    • Alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon condition affecting lung tissue.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging, often requiring invasive procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To describe three distinct cases of alveolar microlithiasis.
    • To review the current understanding of alveolar microlithiasis pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and differential diagnosis.

    Summary:

    • Presents three cases of alveolar microlithiasis in two females (19, 44 years) and one male (56 years).
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via lung biopsy in two cases and posthumously in one.
    • The study reviews literature concerning the disease's causes, presentation, and differential diagnosis.

    Impact:

    • Contributes to the understanding of alveolar microlithiasis presentation and diagnosis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering rare lung diseases in clinical practice.
    • Provides a resource for clinicians managing patients with suspected alveolar microlithiasis.
