Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a lung inflammatory disease with low prevalence and has the feature of external lipid substances presented in the alveoli. Therapeutic lung lavage (segmental bronchoalveolar lavage and whole lung lavage) has been gradually recognized as an important therapy for the disease. There was no comprehensive summary on its efficacy and safety. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, clinicaltrials.gov, and the references of included studies. After study selection, data extraction and quality assessment, we performed a qualitative description of current data. RESULTS We included 90 ELP patients from 25 case reports and 8 case series studies. Eighty-four (93.3%) patients received segmental bronchoalveolar lavage and six (6.7%) patients received whole lung lavage. Eighty-seven (96.7%) patients got clinical improvement after lavages, while three (3.3%) patients had no improvement and eventually died. The follow-up status was reported in 29 patients, of whom 24 patients remained well without any use of drugs and 4 patients remained well with some periods of corticosteroids. One patient endured recurrence. The radiological change was reported in 72 patients, of whom 41 (56.9%) patients had full resolution until the last follow-up. Two studies reported acute pulmonary edema and transient hypoxemia during lavages. CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic lung lavage might be an effective and safe therapy with long-term benefits for ELP. Current studies were all case reports and case series with relatively high risk of bias. Prospective controlled studies are needed to explore the actual efficacy, safety, individualized indications, and optimized treatment procedures of therapeutic lung lavage for ELP.

Abstract
Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is an uncommon cause of respiratory distress. The practice of oil massage and oil instillation into the nostrils is common in the Indian subcontinent. Accidental aspiration of baby oil may lead to significant chemical pneumonitis. This presentation may vary from subtle to severe respiratory distress requiring intensive care management. Spontaneous air leaks are rare in acute ELP. We successfully managed a six-month-old girl presenting with mineral oil-induced ELP and air leaks. However, these children require long-term follow-up, as a small proportion may evolve into chronic lung disease.

Abstract
Background Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is a rare entity, the diagnosis is often missed or delayed. Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of exogenous lipid pneumonia in elderly patients, improve the efficiency of early diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical information and imaging data of these 2 exogenous lipid pneumonia patients, reviewed related literature. Results Both of the 2 patients were over 60 with a history of gastrointestinal diseases. The clinical presentation is nonspecific. Chest CT showed many different manifestations. Histopathology analysis revealed the accumulation of lipid carrying macrophages, vacuolar cells and inflammation. A literature review indicated that 25 previous cases of exogenous lipid pneumonia were caused by aspiration. The most common site of the lesion was located in right lung, while mineral oil was the most common substances. We sought to discuss the patient's treatment and the corresponding outcomes. Conclusion The diagnosis of lipid pneumonia's mainly depends on medical history and histopathological morphology. The standard treatment for exogenous lipid pneumonia was composed of antibiotics, steroid, bronchoscopic lavage and a regular follow-up.

Abstract
RATIONALE Standard treatment of lipoid pneumonitis remains unclear. This study reports a case of kerosene pneumonitis successfully treated with systemic steroid and segmental bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). PATIENT CONCERNS A 30-year-old woman referred to our hospital because of worsening of respiratory symptoms and fever despite antibiotic therapy following accidental ingestion of kerosene. She had no underlying disease. DIAGNOSES Chest CT scan showed necrotic consolidation, ground glass opacity (GGO), bronchial wall thickening in the right middle/lower lobe (RML/RLL) and right pleural effusion. The lipoid pneumonitis was confirmed by identification of a lipid laden macrophage in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. INTERVENTIONS The patient was treated with systemic corticosteroid and segmental BAL. OUTCOMES The patient's symptoms rapidly improved after treatment and she was discharged one week after admission. A follow-up CT scan a week after discharge revealed marked resolution of consolidation. No recurrence was reported for 8 months. LESSONS This is the first case of kerosene pneumonitis successfully treated with systemic steroid and bronchoscopic segmental lavage therapy in Korea. Very few cases have been reported worldwide.

Abstract
Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a rare type of inflammatory lung disease caused by aspiration and/or inhalation of fatty substances and characterized by a chronic foreign body-type reaction to intra-alveolar lipid deposits. The usual clinical presentation occurs with insidious onset of nonspecific respiratory symptoms and radiographic findings that can mimic other pulmonary diseases. Diagnosis of ELP is often missed or delayed as it requires a high index of suspicion and familiarity with the constellation of appropriate history and radiologic and pathologic features. We herein report a case of occupational exposure to tabletop "Teppanyaki" entertainment cooking as a cause of ELP, confirmed by surgical lung biopsies in a 63-year-old Asian woman who worked as a Hibachi-Teppanyaki chef for 25 years.
