%X the histologic pattern of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (afop), described by beasley in 2002, is characterized by the existence of intra alveolar fibrin in the form of fibrin £¿balls£¿ and diffuse organizing pneumonia. presenting symptoms of this interstitial pulmonary disease can be acute or subacute. however, it differs from the well -recognized histologic patterns of acute pulmonary lesion - diffuse alveolar damage (dad), organizing pneumonia (op) and eosinophilic pneumonia (ep). the authors carry out a review of the literature concerning this topic and describe the clinical case of a 44 -year -old patient with unusual imaging features and outcome.
