Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy for the diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in a hypoxemic patient
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterized by the intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant due to macrophage dysfunction or the production of abnormal surfactant. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by lung biopsy either bronchoscopically or by video-assisted thoracoscopic sur...
