Diagnosis of Bronchitis Obliterans with Organizing Pneumonia (BOOP), has been carried out thus far by open lung biopsy, or by transbronchial biopsy. We report a patient who presented with fever, cough and dyspnea. A transthoracic CT-guided biopsy of a peripheral lesion resulted in the diagnosis of BOOP. The histological findings were also confirmed by a transbronchial biopsy. It is suggested that transthoracic CT-guided biopsy should be considered for the evaluation of peripheral lung lesion compatible with BOOP.
闭塞性细支气管炎伴机化性肺炎(BOOP)的诊断,迄今为止一直通过开胸肺活检或经支气管活检来进行。我们报告了一名出现发热、咳嗽和呼吸困难的患者。经胸CT引导下对周围病变进行活检,确诊为BOOP。经支气管活检也证实了组织学检查结果。建议对于与BOOP相符的周围性肺病变的评估,应考虑经胸CT引导下活检。
