title: Organizing pneumonia associated with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis.
abstract: Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions such as connective tissue diseases. Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a systemic disease characterized by polyarthritis and mucocutaneous lesions, but lung involvement is uncommon. We report a patient with MRH associated with OP. This case may be of interest when considering the pathophysiological mechanisms of both diseases.
