AIBAR ARREGUI, M. A.; LABORDA EZQUERRA, K. CONGET LOPEZ, F.. Lipid pneumonia related to an accidental apiration of gas-oil. []. , 24, 4, pp.187-189. ISSN 0212-7199.
A 35-year-old non smoker man with no known history of chronic pulmonary disease, was treated at our hospital after accidental aspiration of gas-oil. He had developed an acute lipoid pneumonia in a few hours. Computed tomography of the chest showed a ground-glass pattern in middle lobe; given the immediate epidemiological precedent, it was possible to confirm a definitive diagnosis. One year later the patient is asymptomatic although small signs of acute process remain in the computed tomography.
