Özet
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) was described in 1985 as a distinct entity, with different clinical, radiographic, and prognostic features than the airway disorder obliterative bronchiolitis and the interstitial fibrotic lung disorder usual interstitial pneumonia/idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.The BOOP pattern may be idiopathic or may occur secondary to some of the following clinical conditions: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Wegener granulomatosis; at the wall of lung abscesses, lymphomas, other neoplasms or after healing of infectious diseases. At these conditions, clinical symptoms are primarily due underlying disorders.We presented a case of BOOP mimicking a malignant disorder and occurring after Aspergillus infection in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
