==Organizing pneumonia==
===General===
*Multiple causes, e.g. transplant rejection, infection.
Clinical diagnoses:<ref name=Ref_WMSP91>{{Ref WMSP|91}}</ref>
*[[Lung transplant pathology|Transplant rejection]].
*Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), [[AKA]] (idiopathic) bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).
**Should '''not''' be confused with ''[[constrictive bronchiolitis]]'' (AKA ''[[bronchiolitis obliterans]]'').
*[[Collagen vascular disease]].
*Toxic injury.
*Infection.
*Peri-tumor - in proximity to a space-occupying lesion (abscess, neoplasm).
Note:
*BOOP is used as a synonym for ''organizing pneumonia'' which has the long differential diagnosis above.<ref name=Ref_WMSP91>{{Ref WMSP|91}}</ref>
**Confusingly, it may be used to refer to the idiopathic form of organizing pneumonia, now generally known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
***In other words, strictly speaking, ''BOOP'' is '''not''' the same as ''COP''; idiopathic BOOP ''is'' COP.
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_Klatt110>{{Ref Klatt|110}}</ref>
*Distal airway disease -- airways plugged with organizing exudate ("Masson bodies").
**"Organized exudate" = fluffy light-staining paucicellular regions with stellate cells (fibroblasts & immature connective tissue).
