Popis: A new case of bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is reported. The clinical, radiographical and histological characteristics of the BOOP are reviewed. It is a rare affection which has been described for a long time but the nosological situation of which among diseases of bronchioles has been only recently established. It corresponds to an unspecific inflammatory answer to a pulmonary aggression and can therefore be observed in numerous circumstances. It may represent a model for the understanding of the mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis.
