“…OP has also been reported to develop at a site distant to the topographical situation of the lung tumour in several reports. In a case published by Sanchez et al, OP developed in the contralateral lung of the patient with adenocarcinoma . Enomoto et al also reported a case where OP was found in topographically distant lung regions .…”

Organizing pneumonia is a well‐known clinical entity resulting in response to noxious stimuli causing lung injury. It is known to occur with infectious disease processes, neoplasms, post lung surgery or radiation therapy and when idiopathic, is called cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. We present an unusual case of a 48‐year‐old woman who presented with chronic cough and progressive dyspnoea while being on macrolide therapy for Lyme disease. Computerized tomography of chest demonstrated a well‐circumscribed nodule in the lingula and bilateral central ground glass opacities. Transbronchial biopsies were consistent with carcinoid tumour in the lingula and organizing pneumonia in bilateral lung fields. Bronchoscopic relief of obstruction was performed by mechanical debulking of the tumour, with subsequent complete resolution of bilateral opacities, consistent with resolution of organizing pneumonia without the need for steroid therapy.

Background Secondary organizing pneumonia (OP) is associated with other pathological conditions, such as infections, drugs, cancers and radiotherapy. Lung cancer-associated secondary OP has rarely been reported. Case review In this study, we reported on a case of secondary OP caused by lung cancer. The patient was initially diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia and then cryptogenic organizing pneumonia by CT scan-guided and transbronchial lung biopsy. Poor response to anti-infection or corticosteroid therapy prompted us to search for underlying disease. A TBNA biopsy of the 4R mediastinal lymph node revealed the diagnosis of lung cancer. Conclusion OP secondary to lung cancer of unknown primary site are rare. When OP patients have lymphadenopathy or poor response to glucocorticoid, a more differential diagnosis should be considered, especially for avoiding the misdiagnosis of a malignancy.
