Two cases of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis are reported. Emphasis is placed on imaging techniques for diagnosis with bronchofibroscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage. Treatment of symptomatic forms is based on classical alveolar lavage with a rigid bronchoscope or currently with the fibroscope.

D011649 Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis A PULMONARY ALVEOLI-filling disease, characterized by dense phospholipoproteinaceous deposits in the alveoli, cough, and DYSPNEA. This disease is often related to, congenital or acquired, impaired processing of PULMONARY SURFACTANTS by alveolar macrophages, a process dependent on GRANULOCYTE-MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR.
