| Abstrakt: | A 48-year-old-male presented with a five-week history of non-productive cough and exertional dyspnoea. A pulmonary function test showed a mild diffusion disorder. A CT scan revealed an atypical pneumonia with bipulmonary consolidations, which were accentuated in the right upper lobe. The transbronchial biopsy showed lipid-loaded macrophages. These findings confirmed the diagnosis of a lipoid pneumonia, which developed in the context of inhalation of substances containing menthol. After discontinuation of the causative agent and high-dose steroid administration the symptoms were reversible within a few weeks.
