Diagnosing interstitial lung diseases can be challenging. This case highlights how surgical biopsy is crucial for identifying rare conditions like bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, especially with unusual symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with radiological signs pose diagnostic challenges.
  • Aetiological diagnosis is often complex, necessitating advanced investigative methods.
  • Rare ILDs may present with atypical clinical manifestations, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A case of bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is presented.
  • The histological findings and treatment response were classical for BOOP.
  • However, the clinical presentation and aetiology were unusual.

Findings:

  • Surgical lung biopsy is vital for diagnosing rare ILDs.
  • Biopsy aids in identifying conditions with atypical presentations.
  • This case underscores the importance of biopsy in preventing diagnostic neglect.

Implications:

  • Highlights the diagnostic utility of surgical lung biopsy in complex ILD cases.
  • Emphasizes the need to consider rare aetiologies even with classical histology.
  • Informs clinical practice regarding the investigation of unusual ILD presentations.
