Abstract:
We report a case of histologically proved bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) associated with ruptured distal aortic arch aneurysm (DAAA) into the lung. A 63-years-old male with preoperative episode of hemosputum and hemoptysis was diagnosed DAAA. Preoperative computed tomographic scanning demonstrated that the aneurysm was surrounded with the structure of 2 layers of the enhanced high density external layer and the not enhanced low density internal layer. Combined resection of the left upper lobe and the aneurysm was performed safely because of marked adhesion between the lung and the aneurysm. Postoperative histological examination revealed that the perianeurysmal structure was due to BOOP.
