We describe the case of a 38-year-old woman with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in whom a CT (computed tomography) scan of the chest showed patchy peripheral air-space disease, but in whom the central air-space in the lungs was relatively clear. The distribution of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is usually predominantly central, and only rarely peripheral.
