Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare entity, which mimics miliary mottling on chest X-rays, and on this basis, most of the cases are initially treated as tuberculosis. It involves both sexes at any age. Familial as well as sporadic cases are seen and familial form is thought to be autosomal recessive. It has no specific treatment and only symptomatic treatment is given. In Pakistan, no case of PAM is so far reported. We came across one such case, which is reported and available literature is reviewed.
