Abstract

Abstract: One of the known agent that causes an organizing pneumonia could be the chronic inhalation of food, but generally we can't find the specific food that caused this pattern. We show a case where, with an accurate medical history, supported by the various histological investigation steps, we could reach the specific cause of it.
