ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is a rare respiratory condition characterized by the filling of alveolar airspaces with fibrin and granulation tissue, with no indetifiable cause. Case Report: This article presents a case of a 3-year-old child with COP and discusses the condition’s clinical, histopathological and radiological features. Discussion: COP is diagnosed through biopsy and histology; and it is essential to rule out other potential causes. Our article outlines the pathogenesis of COP and its three stages of development. The primary treatment for COP is systemic corticosteroids, with a significant success rate. However, further research is required to explore more effective therapeutic methods, reducing the need for surgery and improving patient outcomes. Conclusion: COP is now well-characterized, but ongoing research is needed to understand its underlying mechanisms and optimize treatment approaches.
