Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a pulmonary disorder with a wide spectrum of radiological features. We report the case of a 58 year old woman, in whom the radiological appearance was multiple cavitary nodules in both lungs, that responded with a complete resolution after corticosteroid therapy. This finding justifies the inclusion of BOOP in the differential diagnosis of multiple cavitary nodules.
INTRODUCCIÓNLa hemoptisis es un síntoma alarmante de curso impredecible que puede ser la primera manifestación de un amplio espectro de enfermedades con una etiología, pronóstico o tratamiento variables (1-3). Una misma causa o prácticamente la mayoría de ellas pueden presentar un sangrado mínimo o amenazante y ser el aviso de una enfermedad grave o una hemorragia fatal que justifican la trascendencia del conocimiento de su etiología y la necesidad de utilizar distintas téc-nicas para llegar a un diagnóstico, localizarla e iniciar un tratamiento (4,5).
