Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to show a distinctive appearan ce of exogenous lipoid pneumonia on thin-section CT that has not, to o ur knowledge, been previously documented. CONCLUSION. On thin-section CT, exogenous lipoid pneumonia is revealed as patchy well-defined area s of ground-glass attenuation with superimposed septal thickening (cra zy-paving pattern), Exogenous lipoid pneumonia should be included in t he differential diagnosis when thin-section CT reveals a crazy-paving pattern.
