Özet:

 


Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan has been widely
used as standard method of assessing bone density. Artefacts and incidental
findings are frequently encountered on the DEXA scan images, some of which may
affect bone mineral density values and the others are only of incidental
findings. In this case report, we present a 44-year-old male diagnosed with pulmonary
microlithiasis that was confirmed on a transbronchial biopsy. To
our knowledge, we report the first case in the literature, describing the
appearance of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis on DEXA scan with brief review
of literature on both pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis and artifacts and
incidental findings encountered on DEXA scan.
