A rare disease, That crystalizes the Lungs?

My uncle passed away a few years back from an extremely rare, inherited disease. When you have this disease your lungs slowly over time crystalize. This disease is inherited and is not considered a cancer. and thats pretty much all i know about it.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?
and do you know what the name of it is?
I dont really feel comfortable bringgin it up with my aunt because i feel it might start some emotional feelings that i wont know how to control

any help is greatly appricated =]

There are so many lung diseases. It would be best for you to check with your aunt to know for sure. If it is inherited, you have a right to know this information.

My father passed away 10 years ago from something called "Connective Lung Tissue Disorder." According to his doctors, however, this is not an inherited disease and "versions" of it can be contracted in other parts of the body, where it may not be fatal.
