The Spectrum of Presentations of Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia in High Resolution Computed Tomography
BACKGROUND Various radiologic patterns of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) in X-rays have been reported for more than 20 years, and later, in computed tomography scans. The aim of the present study was to describe the spectrum of radiologic findings on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans in patients with COP. MATERIAL/METHODS HRCT scans of 31 sequential patients (mean age: ...
متن کاملCryptogenic organizing pneumonia.
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is a rare, distinct disorder that is sufficiently different from the other diseases in the group of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias to be designated as a separate entity. In its most typical presentation, it is characterized by dyspnea and cough, with multiple patchy alveolar opacities on pulmonary imaging. Definite diagnosis is obtained by the finding of bud...

متن کاملCryptogenic and Secondary Organizing Pneumonia
Background Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a distinct clinical and pathologic entity. This condition can be cryptogenic (COP) or secondary to other known causes (secondary OP). In the present study, we reviewed the features associated with COP and secondary OP in patients from two teaching hospitals. Methods The medical records of 61 patients with biopsy-proven OP were retrospectively reviewed. Fo...
متن کاملAdult primary varicella pneumonia: high-resolution computed tomography findings.
A 73-year-old woman was hospitalized for the treatment of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. She complained of itchiness with a rash on her trunk and was diagnosed with chickenpox. Although she had no respiratory symptoms, chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) performed on the same day showed multiple nodules with surrounding ground-glass attenuation (GGA) and consolidation (Picture). B...
