Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia after adjuvant radiotherapy for breast carcinoma.
External radiotherapy following surgery for breast carcinoma may induce radiation injury to the lungs in a number of patients. Two types of injury are recognized that are temporally related to radiotherapy; an acute pneumonitis-like illness and fibrosis, with abnormalities confined to the radiation port (1). However, the spectrum of radiotherapy-induced sequelae may be more diverse. Two patient...

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of diffuse infiltrative lung disease. It is a diagnostic consideration in patients with a febrile flu-like illness of a few weeks' duration and a roentgenogram showing bilateral patchy infiltrates that are not responsive to a typical course of antibiotics. It is defined as granulated tissue plu...

The patient often presents with flu-like symptoms and radiological findings showing bilateral patchy infiltrates.

متن کاملCavitary bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
The term bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) refers to nonspecific pathological abnormalities characterized by the presence of granulation tissue within the lumen of the distal pulmonary airspaces, associating "proliferative" bronchiolitis obliterans and organizing pneumonia which is indeed the major component of the pathological process [1]. Some confusion has resulted from th...
متن کاملBronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia after Radiotherapy: A Case Report of Post-Esophagectomy Diagnosis
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a diffuse, infiltrative lung disease. BOOP is mostly idiopathic, and possible causes are pulmonary infections, drugs, collagen vascular disease, thyroiditis, or radiotherapy. Radiation injury to the lung is a common event after radiotherapy. This article presents a case report of BOOP occurrence after minimally invasive esophagectomy that ...
