Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a progressive fibrotic process that predominantly affects the small airways and is identified as constrictive bronchiolitis by pathologists. It is commonly associated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), lung transplant, exposure to inhaled toxins, post-infectious processes, autoimmune diseases, and sometimes, no known cause. In the latter case, it is referred to as cryptogenic bronchiolitis obliterans. A 52-year-old Hispanic man with a medical history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease was referred to the pulmonary department due to experiencing dyspnea on exertion, intermittent dry cough, and progressive limitation of activities of daily living. Spirometry revealed severe obstructive changes, and chest high-resolution computed tomography showed ground-glass opacities with nodular infiltrates in the upper lobes, leading to a presumptive diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The patient underwent a lung surgical biopsy of the right upper and lower lobes, which revealed extensive constrictive bronchiolitis. Due to the patient's worsening general condition, bilateral lung transplantation succeeded without any further complications. Following the transplantation, the patient showed good recovery and functional improvement. Bronchiolitis obliterans, or constrictive bronchiolitis, has a variable natural history. It is associated with a higher risk of mortality in allogenic HSCT. When BO is secondary to inhalation of toxic gases, it is usually nonprogressive and limited to toxin exposure. Autoimmune diseases or cryptogenic bronchiolitis are rare and have a heterogeneous clinical course. To make a proper diagnosis, clinical history, radiologic and histologic findings must be considered.
