| Abstract: | ![]()
Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) is an idiopathic chronic condition characterized by alveolar filling with mixed inflammatory infiltrate consisting largely of eosinophils. On CT, it is usually observed as consolidation, often peripheral and patchy in distribution, with upper lobe dominance. Airway involvement in CEP is very rare. We report on a case of bronchial involvement in CEP. |
