Idiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) has become accepted as a distinct disease entity. We report a patient who presented with the classical clinical, radiological and pathologic features of this uncommon condition. To our knowledge, this is first case to be reported in Singapore. This case also illustrates the difficulty of making a definitive diagnosis and emphasizes its therapeutic importance.
