Lipoid pneumonitis
Definition
Lipoid pneumonia (pneumonitis) refers to two types lipoid pneumonias (pneumonitises), one is Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (pneumonitis) and another is Endogenous lipoid pneumonia (pneumonitis). Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (pneumonitis) is the accumulation of aspirated oils within the alveoli and subsequent foreign body reaction. Endogenous lipoid pneumonia (pneumonitis), also called cholesterol pneumonia (pneumonitis) or golden pneumonia (pneumonitis), is a localised accumulation of lipid-laden macrophages within alveolar spaces distal to an obstructed airway.
