Organizing pneumonia associated with myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody

Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a clinicopathological entity that occurs idiopathically or in association with several conditions, but there are few reports about myeloperoxidase anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO‐ANCA)‐associated OP. We describe a patient with OP whose clinical conditions improved spontaneously. Moreover, serum MPO‐ANCA titers paralleled the clinical activity of the disease, which disappeared in association with disease quiescence. Based on these findings, a subset of patients may have OP related to MPO‐ANCA. ANCA testing should be considered in the work‐up of patients with suspected OP.
