Özet

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is an abnormal host defense reaction secondary to lung injury. A 35-year-old woman was admitted with cachexia, and tumor-like mass on chest radiograph. She underwent thoracotomy for hydatid disease. However, pathologic examination revealed histologic changes compatible with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia may present as an inflammatory cystic lesion.
