Abstract

We describe a case of bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP) with asbestos bodies. A 65-year-old man, treated in the past for gastric lymphoma and with an history of asbestos exposure, presented with fever and two nodular opacities in the lower lobe of the left lung. Histologic examination revealed a BOOP pattern; in the inflammatory tissue some asbestos bodies were present. Patients exposed to asbestos may rarely present with localized inflammatory pulmonary lesions. In these cases, the possible etiopathogenetic role of asbestos needs further studies.
