title: [Alveolar microlithiasis (apropos of a case)].
abstract: One new case of alveolar microlithiasis is reported on that includes, besides the radio-clinical investigations, complete functional exploratory studies and anatomic authentications. Authors recall the diagnostical procedures and our present ignorance of the pathogenesis of this curious entity; no valid therapy is presently able to check the relentless course towards progressive respiratory deficiency.
