Summary:Despite the widespread introduction of CT into clinical practice, the diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is still an urgent task of modern radiology. Radiological diagnosticians and clinicians have significant difficulties in diagnosis due to rather low frequency of this disease and nonspecific clinical manifestations. Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is a disease which sharply worsens the quality of life in case of untimely diagnosis and belongs to the group of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. The article is devoted to the clinical case of a patient with verified cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. CT of the chest organs, along with clinical data, plays a key role in the accurate diagnosis of organizing pneumonia.
