title: Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis with mineralizing pulmonary elastosis: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis characterized by repeated episodes of intra-alveolar haemorrhage is rare in adults and has a relatively benign course compared to cases seen in children.
  
  
  METHODS
  The case presented here is of an adult man with idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis with mineralizing pulmonary elastosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pathologists are generally not familiar with this histologic reaction pattern associated with iron encrustation of pulmonary elastic tissue.
