Abstract

Plain chest film and CT scan of the thorax in a 30 year-old woman with bronchiolitis obliterans was presented. The patient was a known case of hypereosinophilic syndrome. The images showed ground glass appearance of both lungs. Reticular, reticulonodular and patchy lesion was observed, mainly at left lower lobe and left apex. Pleural effusion in small amount was seen in both sides of the pleural spaces. Mild volume loss was observed in left lung.
