Exogenous lipoid pneumonia in a woman in her 30s: Courtesy of Dr. Kazuhiro Suzuki,
an attending radiologist, at the department of Radiology, Juntendo University School of
Medicine.

of lipid was confirmed by transbronchial lung biopsy.
A: Chest radiograph shows bilateral consolidations in the lower lung fields (arrows);
B: Thin-section CT demonstrates an area of clearly demarcated ground-glass opacity with a
subpleural consolidation (arrow);
C: Chest computed tomography (CT) with a mediastinal window setting reveals the
subpleural consolidation to be of fat attenuation (arrow, mean CT value -45HU).
