Empiric Treatment of Focal Organizing Pneumonia in a Patient with a Low-Risk Lung Mass

Abstract: The authors present a case of a 57-year-old man presenting with a solitary lung mass. Transbronchial biopsy showed an organizing pneumonia pattern. A therapeutic trial of corticosteroids resulted in complete resolution avoiding surgery. The authors discuss the diagnosis of focal organizing pneumonia without surgical resection.

“…In our patient, it resulted in a radiological regression of bilateral lung lesions. Bronchoscopy confirmed FOP is treated by corticotrherapy, resulting in elimination of the symptoms and radiological regression 5 . In a study on LOP, patients with bilateral lesions were operated to establish the diagnosis, and due to bilateral lesions they were prescribed for corticotherapy which improved their condition, correlating to our reported case.…”

“…The radiological finding is presented with multiple, bilateral, patchy, peripheral alveolar shadows, ground glass or consolidation. More rarely, the radiological finding is presented with bilateral diffuse infiltrates and focal solitary lesions 1,2,5 . Focal COP is a rare entity, which may radiologically mimic malignant lung lesions and lung cancer.…”
