CT Left Lower Lobe Bronchopneumonia
35-year-old woman, presents with dyspnea and fever. Coronal CT shows a bronchocentric pneumonic infiltrate in the superior segment of the left lower lobe and extending into the medial basal segment, and silhouetting the medial aspect of the diaphragm. There is an adjacent region of ground glass infiltrate. These findings are consistent with a bronchopneumonia in the left lower lobe.

Coronal CT shows a bronchocentric pneumonic infiltrate in the superior segment of the left lower lobe (red rings) and extending into the medial basal segment, resulting in silhouetting of the medial aspect of the left hemidiaphragm (between the black arrowheads). There is an adjacent region of ground glass infiltrate. (b, white rings) These findings are consistent with a bronchopneumonia in the left lower lobe.

COP vs NSIP
56 year old female presents with CT findings of basilar bronchovascular infiltrates, almost symmetrical, associated with mediastinal and axillary adenopathy.
Pathological report was complex but suggested a diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
