title: Silicoproteinosis: high-resolution CT and histologic findings.
abstract: The high-resolution CT findings of silicoproteinosis consist of numerous bilateral centrilobular nodular opacities, focal ground glass opacities, and patchy areas of consolidation. These findings reflect the presence of intra-alveolar accumulation of proteinaceous material.
