A Case of Bronchiolitis Obiliterans Organizing Pneumonia Diagnosed by Transbronchial Biopsy
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia(BOOP) is a pulmonary disorder among the spectrum of infiltrative lung disease without apparent cause or associated diseases. Usually, transbronchial biopsy (TBB) is not recommended for the diagnosis
of
bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia and rarely reported. We report herein a patient with pulmonary disease in whom the diagnosis of BOOP was achieved by transbronchial biopsy. The radiologic findings showed a large cavity and increased
linear
opacities. The pathologic findings were consistent with BOOP patterns. Transbronchial biopsy might be a useful diagnostic method for BOOP.
