Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia (BOOP)
Radiologic Findings
Chest CT scan shows multiple ,fuzzy marginated nodules in both lungs. Some are represented as ground glass opacity or well defined nodule.
Brief Review
The organizing pneumonia pattern is often secondary to a known cause such as rheumatoid arthritis, viral pneumonia or drug reactions.

Most common chest radiograph shows bilateral or unilateral areas of patchy consolidation.

CT scan shows consolidation and ground-glass opacity with mild bronchial dilatation seen in regions of consolidation.

The distribution of COP is commonly involved subpleural or peribronchial area.

Differential diagnosis of CT findings includes alveolar cell carcinoma, lymphoma, vasculitis, sarcoidosis, and infection. When the consolidation is subpleural, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia should also be considered.
