Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is an idiopathic chronic condition characterized by alveolar filling with mixed inflammatory infiltrate consisting largely of eosinophils. On CT, it is usually observed as consolidation, often peripheral and patchy in distribution, with upper lobe dominance. Airway involvement in CEP is very rare. We report on a case of bronchial involvement in CEP.
慢性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎(CEP)是一种特发性慢性疾病,其特征为肺泡内充满主要由嗜酸性粒细胞组成的混合性炎症浸润。在CT上,通常表现为实变,多位于外周且呈斑片状分布,以上叶为主。CEP累及气道的情况非常罕见。我们报告一例CEP累及支气管的病例。
