Zusammenfassung:Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a pulmonary disorder with a wide spectrum of radiologic features. Usually, these are bilateral, patchy, alveolar, or ground-glass infiltrates, but other presentations have also been described.

We think that this finding may justify the inclusion of BOOP in the differential diagnosis of the pulmonary solitary nodule.
