Organizing pneumonia, a lung injury response, presents with typical and less common imaging patterns. This review details these diverse radiological manifestations, aiding diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Organizing pneumonia is a non-specific reaction to lung injury.
  • It is the pathological hallmark of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
  • Typical COP imaging includes patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the less common imaging patterns of organizing pneumonia.
  • To expand the understanding beyond typical COP radiological findings.
  • To aid in the diagnosis of diverse presentations of organizing pneumonia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of radiological literature on organizing pneumonia.
  • Analysis of imaging features associated with various lung injuries.
  • Categorization of less familiar organizing pneumonia patterns.

Main Results:

  • Organizing pneumonia exhibits diverse imaging patterns beyond typical consolidation.
  • Less common patterns include focal, nodular, bronchocentric, band-like, perilobular, and fibrotic forms.
  • Recognition of these varied patterns is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Organizing pneumonia has a wide spectrum of imaging appearances.
  • Familiarity with uncommon patterns improves diagnostic accuracy for COP.
  • Radiological assessment should consider these diverse manifestations.
