Zusammenfassung: | Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare disease characterized by accumulating intraalveolar small calcium phosphate stones. The disease is slow and does not show any signs in the early stages, but the shortness of breath, cough, and right heart failure may develop as it progresses. Methylene diphosphonate used in bone scintigraphy shows high uptake of calcium deposits in the alveoli and causes diffuse increased radiopharmaceutical uptake in the lungs. Keywords: Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis, MDP, bone scintigraphy Pulmoner alveolar mikrolitiazis intraalveoler küçük kalsiyum fosfat taslarinin birikmesi ile karakterize nadir görülen bir hastaliktir. Hastalik yavas seyirlidir ve ilk dönemlerinde bulgu vermese de ilerledikçe nefes darligi, öksürük ve sag kalp yetersizligi gelisebilmektedir. Kemik sintigrafisinde kullanilan metilendifosfonat alveollerdeki kalsiyum depozitlerinde yüksek tutulum göstererek akcigerlerde diffüz artmis radyofarmasötik tutulumuna sebep olur.
