Interstitial lung diseases encompass a wide set of entities, with relatively similar clinical characteristics, in this context, pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia presents with tachypnea, traces, crepitos or subcrépitos, wheezing and sometimes hypoxemia, requiring in some cases to be hospitalized . Pulmonary tomography shows ground glass images of the middle lobe and lingula.
The case of a male patient aged 1 year and 7 months is presented, who presented tachypnea from birth, multiple visits and hospitalizations due to recurrent wheezing.
The clinical picture and the images are highly suggestive of the diagnosis, the episodes of wheezing may be part of the clinical picture of this entity; however, they could be related to virus-induced wheezing.
