ABSTRACT
We reported a case of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia ( COP) who was admitted to the hospital in July 2008 and reviewed the Chinese literature of COP from 2003 to 2008. The most common symptoms of COP are fever, cough and exertional dyspnea. The imaging characteristics of COP are similar to those of pneumonia, therefore is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia with a high misdiagnosis rate. Lung biopsy is the main method for pathological diagnosis; polypoid growth of granulation tissue was noted within respiratory bronchioles, small airways and alveolar spaces.
