Overview
In 1925,G. F. LAUGHLEN, M.D. was the first physician to describe lipoid pneumonia. He first interacted to the disease by routine autopsy at the Toronto, Ontorio hospital for sick children. He described grayish red nodules at the autopsy with three types of exudates, found out mononuclear cells which were unexpected in the exudates. In 1949 McDonald et al described endogenous lipoid pneumonia for the first time. He observed so called "obstructive pneumonia" in patients with lung neoplasms.
