Significats de exogenous lipoid en anglès

Classic histologic features of exogenous lipoid pneumonia have not been identified in tissue samples.

These HRCT findings with appropriate inquiries could be useful for diagnosis of exogenous lipoid pneumonia.

Objective: To evaluate the high-resolution CT findings in 17 children with exogenous lipoid pneumonia following aspiration of mineral oil.

The aim of this study was to assess high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings of exogenous lipoid pneumonia.

High-resolution computed tomography was obtained in 25 patients with proven exogenous lipoid pneumonia resulting from aspiration of squalene (derived from shark liver oil).

Background: Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is a rare disorder caused by aspiration of mineral, vegetable and animal oils.
