Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia

Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP), now more commonly classified as organizing pneumonia or cryptogenic organizing pneumonia when idiopathic, is a clinicopathologic form of interstitial lung disease affecting the lower respiratory tract Pathophysiologically, the condition is defined by intra-alveolar injury resulting in polypoid plugs of loose, organizing fibroblastic granulation tissue (Masson bodies) that obstruct distal bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and adjacent alveoli,...
