Idiopathic FOP is a rare type of COP. What we know on this subject is made up of a few clinical cases published in recent years. Our patient was admitted to the hospital with an intermittent coughing complaint that worsens over time. Due to a suspicion of malignancy, a radiological evaluation was requested including a PET-CT and a transbronchial biopsy was performed. Until the last part of our algorithm, the patient profile was clinically and radiologically in favor of the diagnosis of malignancy but, in the end, the diagnosis of FOP was fixed with a follow-up decision. In conclusion, FOP is a relatively new entity that should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of malignancy.
特发性纤维结构不良是一种罕见的骨化性纤维瘤。目前我们对该病的认识主要来自近年来发表的少数临床病例。我们的患者因间歇性咳嗽就诊，咳嗽逐渐加重。由于怀疑恶性肿瘤，我们进行了影像学评估，包括 PET-CT 和经支气管活检。直到我们的诊断算法的最后一部分，患者的临床和影像学特征都支持恶性肿瘤的诊断，但最终通过随访确定了纤维结构不良的诊断。总之，纤维结构不良是一种相对较新的实体，在恶性肿瘤的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
