Lipoid Pneumonia Due to Aspiration of Oil Products: Two Case Reports
Journal Title: Nursing and Health Care - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Lipoid pneumonia which is a rare disorder, results from accumulation of lipids in the alveoli. Lipoid pneumonia has two types; exogenous pneumonia which results from deposition of inhaled oil in the lung and endogenous pneumonia which results from breakdown of lung distal to obstructed airway. Tumor or bronchiolitis obliterans or following chemotherapy or radiotherapy lead to release of cholesterol and other lipids in alveoli. We report clinical and radiological findings of two cases with exogenous lipoid pneumonia due to aspiration of oil products.
