Radiographic bilateral cavitary lesions in lipoid pneumonia.
We report a case of lipoid pneumonia with pulmonary bilateral cavitated lesions. The diagnosis was based on the finding of abundant lipid-laden alveolar macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage and the presence of histologic changes indicative of lipoid pneumonia in transbronchial lung biopsy.
