Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a physiopathologic syndrome associating suggestive clinical and imaging features with histopathologic studies showing buds of connective tissue in the lu- men of the distal pulmonary airspace. The aim of the study is a retrospective review of
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
METHODS
The clinical, radiologic and pathologic features of 11 patients with COP confirmed by open or video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung biopsy were analyzed. Treatment
We report a case of sputum and dyspnea with patchy migratory air space infiltrates that developed in a 49-year old woman after she started breast radiation therapy following surgery for breast carcinoma. Our case clearly differed from ordinary radiation pneumonitis. Chest roentogenography and
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the characteristics of pathologically proved cases of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) including manifestation of CT scan, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cytology, pulmonary histopathological appearance.
METHODS
Twenty-three consecutive patients from April 1994 to
A 28-year-old female with worsening dyspnea showed miliary nodules of 2 mm in diameter on chest X-ray and high-resolution CT (HRCT). Histological evaluation and clinical outcome revealed an uncommon presentation of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia.
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated patients with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) who attended our clinic.
METHODS
We retrospectively investigated the clinical and radiological findings, diagnostic methods, treatment, and follow-up outcomes of 17 patients who had been histopathologically diagnosed with
We report a 13-year-old boy who developed dyspnea at rest 1 year after the occurrence of cGVHD following an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT). Pulmonary function data, imaging studies, lung biopsy, and bronchoalveolar lavage were consistent with the diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans
In 1996 36-year-old man was admitted into our hospital because of polyarthralgia, skin eruptions followed by multiple cutaneous ulcers, dry cough and elevation of C-reactive protein level. The finding of skin biopsy from left elbow was vasculitis. Chest CT showed linear interstitial shadow at
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a rare cause of pulmonary infiltration and breathlessness which is usually associated with systemic and constitutional ill health. Its aetiology is unclear. The importance of its recognition lies in the characteristic response of the condition
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is an uncommon pulmonary disorder which is a clinicopathologic syndrome. The typical symptoms include cough, fever and dyspnea. Corticosteroid therapy is effective. Death from progressive disease is infrequent. We report a case of BOOP in a
We present an unusual case of a patient with chronic hepatitis C who experienced dyspnea, fever, and cough after 2 1/2 months' treatment with interferon. His radiograph demonstrated diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed an increase in lymphocytes, especially
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is characterized clinically by progressive cough, fever, and dyspnea and pathologically by plugging of the bronchiolar and alveolar lumen with buds of loose connective tissue containing fibroblasts and inflammatory cells. The radiographic
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a recently described entity characterized by cough, fever and dyspnea. To date, only a few cases have been published in the literature. Currently, the diagnosis is established by open lung biopsy. We hereby present a case of BOOP diagnosed
We report a 65-year-old caucasian male, who presented cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) as first manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis. The patient started with fever, myalgias and progressive dyspnea in October 2004. The chest X-ray (CXR) and high resolution computed tomographic scan (HRCT)
