Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia HRCT

Axial (A) and coronal (B) high resolution computed tomography images from a patient with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP). The findings include bilateral, upper lobe predominant, and peripheral consolidative and ground-glass opacities. In CEP, lung involvement is bilateral 75 percent of the time and confined to the upper lobe in 50 percent. While these findings are "classic," it should be recognized that the chest imaging findings in most cases of CEP are not classic.
