Abstract :
Organizing Lobar Pneumonia is a rare form of Bronchiolitis Obliterans
Organizing Pneumonia. Herein, we report a rare case of organizing
pneumonia involving lung, mediastinum and esophagus. A
16-year-old girl was referred to our center with clinical signs and
symptoms of dysphagia and weight loss. The main abnormal radiologic
and endoscopic findings were stricture of the lower third of
esophagus and calcified lobar pneumonia of the lung. Pathologic
examination of biopsies taken from esophageal stricture and resected
lung revealed fibrosis and organizing lobar pneumonia. This combination,
to our knowledge, has not been reported previously
