High-resolution computed tomography scans show peribronchial and subpleural bilateral ground-glass opacities with air bronchograms, some with pleural-based triangular shape.

A high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan showed peribronchial and subpleural bilateral ground-glass opacities with air bronchograms, some with a pleural-based triangular shape (Figure 1).
Lung biopsy shows inflammatory debris and foamy histiocytes within small airways, alveolar ducts, and adjacent alveoli (hematoxylin-eosin stain, x100).

Video-assisted thoracic surgery biopsy was performed, and the pathology showed a picture of lung-tissue dense lymphohistiocytic infiltration, the airway and alveoli filled with swirls of inflammatory granulation tissue, and formation of fibroblastic plugs (Figure 2). Her biopsy examinations confirmed BOOP (Figure 2).
