CTICasesSecond Case of Organizing Pneumonia in a Prior Spinal Radiation Field
Imaging findings
In a second patient with a history of spinal radiation for a prior malignancy, imaging obtained after subsequent chemotherapy again shows new consolidative and ground-glass opacity localized predominantly to the region overlying the earlier radiation treatment field, corroborated on a correlating axial CT.
Key takeaways
A second, independent example of chemotherapy-triggered organizing pneumonia confined to an old radiation field reinforces that this recall phenomenon is a reproducible pattern worth recognizing across different chemotherapy agents and radiation sites, not an isolated coincidence.
