Cholesterol Pneumonitis

Joseph C. Chisholm Jr. MC1; Ernest A. Traad MC1; and Joseph G. Gregonis MC1

1 Departments of Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology, Naval Hospital, Oakland, California

This disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the interstitial pneumonias, especially in patients with diffuse airways obstruction. Although medical management of the disease is not completely clear, steroids and the reversal of airways obstruction, when present, may be beneficial.
