We experienced a case of partial monosomy 10 in a 14-years-old girl. She showed...

A Case of Lipoid Pneumonia with Hypercalcemia Caused by SqualelneⓇ Intake by Force

Lipoid pneumonia is a chronic, interstitial, proliferative inflammation resulting from aspiration of lipoid material and occurs principally in debilated infants. We experienced a case of lipoid pneumonia with hypercalcemia in a 15 month-old boy who showed irritability, poor weight gain, cough, dyspnea, fatigue, diarrhea and pale face after ingestion of SqualeneⓇ(shark liver oil : 20-30 cap/day) by force for 2 months. Calcium preparation was also...
