Cicatricial organizing pneumonia is an uncommon form of organizing pneumonia, which may manifest as persisting linear opacities on computerized tomography (CT) scan mimicking a fibrosing interstitial pneumonia.
It may also manifest with pulmonary ossification, which is a metaplastic bone formation within the lung tissue.
The latter presentation could be either nodular or dendriform, both secondary to underlying lung disease and rarely idiopathic.
Dendriform pulmonary ossification (DPO) has rarely been described as a cause of spontaneous pneumothorax.
We present a case of a 55-year-old male with history of recurrent pneumothoraces and worsening dyspnea on exertion.
A CT of the chest revealed progressive bilateral sub-pleural and peribronchovascular reticular opacities associated with densely ossified branching and nodular opacities.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy of the lung demonstrated cicatricial organizing pneumonia with areas of marked diffuse DPO.
The case highlights that dendriform pulmonary ossification arising from cicatricial organizing pneumonia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent pneumonias among patients with lower lobe sub-pleural reticular opacities.
The case highlights that dendriform pulmonary ossification rarely can cause spontaneous pneumothorax and can be associated with cicatricial organizing pneumonia and reticular opacities on imaging.
