Abstract
A case of pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) with pleural calcification and nephrolithiasis is reported. The significance of peripheral white lines, a rarely reported observation on chest roentgenogram in PAM, is discussed. Extrapulmonary calcification in multiple sites raises the possibility of PAM being a systemic disorder.
