- W2039423706 abstract "Objective To describe six cases of radiation-induced organizing pneumonitis occurring outside the direct radiation field and to review clinical, radiologic, and histologic aspects of this entity. Material and Methods We present detailed case reports of six, women, with a mean age of 62.8 years (range, 50 to 75), who had received radiation therapy (mean dose, 6,560 cGy) for breast cancer. Results From 6 to 17 months (mean, 8.8) after the completion of radiotherapy, recurrent and migrating lung infiltrates were detected outside the radiation field in the six study patients. Three patients had pronounced respiratory symptoms, whereas the rest were minimally symptomatic or asymptomatic. Thoracic computed tomography showed dense alveolar infiltrates. Bronchoalveolar lavage in two patients revealed lymphocytosis (25% and 19%), and lung biopsy in five patients demonstrated a histologic pattern consistent with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. Even though the symptomatic patients showed prompt resolution of their symptoms and roentgenographic abnormalities after systemic corticosteroid therapy, the lung infiltrates recurred after corticosteroid therapy was discontinued. Conclusion These six cases, including their prompt response to corticosteroid therapy, provide additional evidence that irradiation damages lung tissue outside of the direct treatment field and suggest that an immunologically mediated lymphocytic alveolitis may be responsible for the recurrent migratory organizing pneumonitis.
