Report of two new pediatric cases of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM). PAM is a rare disease of unknown etiology; not more than 38 cases have been reported aged less than 18 years. The essential features of this disease are (1) a characteristic radiographic appearance of a sand-like opacity of both lungs and linear densities like "beads on a string" along the heart, pleura and interlobar fissures; this is best visualized by fluoroscopy in combination with magnification technique; (2) extremely few clinical signs and almost no laboratory abnormalities.

PLATES LXXXIX-XCIV)" MICROLITHIASIS alveolaris pulmonum " was the name given by Ludwig Puhr in 1933 to a remarkable case of pulmonary calcification in which the lungs were increased fourfold in weight and great numbers of the alveoli were occupied each by a laminated '' stone ", the radiograph having shown opaque lung fields with fine miliary peripheral opacities. These cases are extremely rare and so far as we can ascertain none has been reported before in the English language. We now present such a case. Case report Clinical hiatoryA housewife, aged 50, was quite well until twelve months before admission in Janusry 1945, when she developed pleurisy on the right side and was kept in bed for three months. Since then she had complained of a moderate degree of breathlessness on exertion, slight morning cough producing scanty sputum, and slight loss in weight. Otherwise she seemed to improve until three months before admission, when she experienced a fresh attack of pain in the right side of the chest. There was no history of rheumatic fever, chorea or any chest illness prior to admission. She had led a normal life and ww able to climb the steep hills of her home town without undue distress; she had never worked in industry, had had no significant illnesses, and was childless.On admission she was found to be a slim woman in good general condition. There was a slight mdar flush, no anzemia, no clubbing of the fingers, no dyspncea and no orthopnoea ; her weight was 7 stones. The respiratory movements were good and the percussion note was resonant over both lungs ; the breath-sounds were vesicular, with a few scattered rhonchi over both sides of the chest. Clinically the heart was not enlarged ; there was a loud mitral &st sound at the apex ; the pulse was 72-80 per minute and the blood pressure 128/80 ; there was no pyrexia nor signs of venom congestion.Laboratory investigations showed Hb. 14.8 g. per 100 c.c., R.B.C. 5-4 million, W.B.C. 13,800 (polymorphonuclears 41 per cent., lymphocytes 50 per cent., monocytes 5 per cent., eosinophils 2.5 per cent., basophils 1-5 per cent.). Wassermann and Kahn tests negative, E.S.R. (Westergren) 56 mm. in 1 hour. No tubercle bacilli nor fungi were found in the sputum. The urine was normal.$'luoroacopy showed very heavy opacity of the middle and lower zones of both lungs and mottling of the upper zones. The outlines of the right dome of the diaphragm and costophrenic sinus were obscured, and the outlines of the heart were not distinguishable. The appearances remained unchanged throughout the next five years. X-ray examination of the chest, carried out
