Key result
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis presented on high-resolution CT as large, sharply defined nodular opacities caused by extensive bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes a novel presentation of hypersensitivity pneumonitis with BOOP-like features on high-resolution CT.
May expand differential for nodular CT opacities; leaves open broader prevalence of this BOOP-like pattern.
SUMMARY: The authors report an unusual case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis presenting on high-resolution CT as large and sharply defined nodular opacities caused by extensive bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia. Many of the nodules were surrounded by a halo of ground-glass attenuation. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time these features have been described in association with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Herráez et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (n=1). Hypersensitivity pneumonitis was evaluated on High-resolution CT findings. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis presented on high-resolution CT as large, sharply defined nodular opacities caused by extensive bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia.
