ABSTRACT
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a very rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by striking systemic and pulmonary manifestations such as fever, weight loss, dyspnea, blood eosinophilia, and fluffy peripheral opacities on chest radiograph. A number of these patients developed asthma before or with the onset of illness. The roentgenographic lesion rapidly resoluted with corticosteroid and recurrence was occasionally occured in the same location. Histopathologic features of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia include dense aggregates of eosinophils, histiocytes, and multinucleated giant cells within alveolar spaces, interstitium, and bronchioles associated with scattered lymphocytes and plasma cells. We report a case of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia diagnosed by clinical, radiographic, and histologic findings with review of the literature.
