“…BOOP usually presents as bilateral multifocal patchy areas of consolidation or ground glass infiltration, and less commonly as a single area of consolidation or of diffuse reticular pattern [6]. BAC has a wide spectrum of CT appearances, ranging from the isolated nodule to the multilobar consolidation [7]. In our case, radiographically, the area of BAC is indistinguishable from the area of BOOP.…”

Although bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) has been associated with a variety of underlying disorders, the majority of cases of BOOP are idiopathic. We present the case of a 61-year-old patient with fever, dry cough, bilateral patchy consolidation and high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Open lung biopsy shows coexistence of BOOP and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. It is interesting that both diseases are predominantly air space diseases and present similar radiologic features making the diagnosis and follow-up of treatment more difficult.

“…L'examen physique est normal. Sur le plan radiologique [3,14,15], il s'agit d'un nodule périphérique unique pouvant mesurer jusqu'à 10 cm de diamè-tre, en général bien limité mais pouvant avoir des contours spiculés. L'aspect en verre dépoli ou subsolide du nodule en TDM est hautement spécifique du diagnostic de CBA (figure 2).…”

“…De façon inattendue, l'état général de ces malades est fréquemment conservé [2]. Sur le plan radiologique, il s'agit de nodules multiples ou encore d'une condensation alvéolaire chronique (ADC pneumonique) avec fréquemment un bronchogramme aérien (figure 2) [2,14,15]. La condensation peut être unique ou multiple, associée à un (des) nodule(s) ou à la présence de verre dépoli.…”

“…MALT lymphoma, as well as bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and organizing pneumonia, is usually listed among the differential diagnoses of chronic consolidations containing an air bronchogram [6]. MALT lymphoma should also be included in the differential diagnosis of a nodule or mass containing an area of low attenuation, together with Wegener's disease, rheumatoid nodules, cancer and abscesses [24,25]. However, true cavitation is generally observed in histological studies of these latter conditions, whereas the areas of low attenuation observed in MALT lymphoma always corresponded to normal or dilated airways on pathological sections and never to necrosls.…”

Lymphoma of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue: CT scan findings and pathological correlations. M. Wislez, J. Cadranel, M. Antoine, B. Milleron, M. Bazot, C. Mayaud, M-F. Carette. #ERS Journals Ltd 1999. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to describe the lesions of pulmonary mucosaassociated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma observed by means of computed tomography (CT) and to determine the value of CT in the management of this disease.Sixty six CT scans were performed in 13 consecutive cases of histologically proven pulmonary MALT lymphoma at the time of diagnosis (n=13) or periodically (n=53). They were reviewed separately with chest radiographs by consensus between two observers. Pulmonary abnormalities were described and compared to histopathological findings on surgical specimens from seven patients.At the time of diagnosis, elementary lesions observed by means of CT consisted of nodular areas of attenuation (12 of 13), linear areas of attenuation (eight of 13) and consolidations (six of 13). All these lesions were centred on airways that appeared dilated in seven cases and were more often bilateral and multiple on CT than on the chest radiographs. CT abnormalities correlated with gross pathological appearance and were related to a lymphomatous infiltration with a peribronchovascular distribution. Pathological examination also confirmed the presence of dilated airways within lymphomatous lesions and showed that the bronchial wall was respected. During follow-up, in patients on chemotherapy, response, relapse or progression were easily identified by means of plain radiography.In the initial evaluation, computed tomography contributed to the choice of therapeutic strategy, avoiding unnecessary surgical resection in one-third of patients. By contrast, it is unclear whether computed tomography is useful for post-treatment follow-up of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. Eur Respir J 1999; 14: 423±429.
