Presentamos el caso de una mujer joven, con clínica inespecífica, historia de exposición laboral reciente a fibra de vidrio y radiografía de tórax con infiltrados nodulares bilaterales, que fue diagnosticada mediante biopsia pulmonar de bronquiolitis obliterante con neumonía organizativa (BONO o BOOP)

La presencia de hallazgos histológicos inhabituales: lesiones granulomatosas no necrotizantes y de pseudovasculitis, así como predominio de linfocitos T supresores, junto con los antecedentes de exposición a fibra de vidrio y las particularidades radiológicas, merecen su comunicación y discusión.

We present a case report in a young woman with inespecific clinical signs recently exposed to glass fiber. She had bilateral infiltrative nodules at the chest x-ray radiograph and the diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia was made by pulmonary biopsy.

The most relevant findings were the unusual observation of nonnecrotizing granulomatous lesions and pseudovasculitis, as well as the predominance of suppressant T lymphocytes associated with exposure to glass fiber and to particular radiologic alterations.
