description | Chronic aspiration bronchiolitis or diffuse aspiration bronchiolitis is a rare disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the bronchioles due to recurrent aspiration of foreign material. To date, there are limited data on chronic aspiration bronchiolitis because it is often present subclinically or remains undiscovered until autopsy. Additionally, time to diagnosis is often prolonged and includes invasive workup prior to definitive diagnosis. Here, we present a case of lung disease attributed to chronic aspiration after a thorough workup resulted in histopathology consistent with a primary diagnosis of aspiration bronchiolitis. Radiographic and pathologic specimens also demonstrated features of usual interstitial pneumonia adding to the complexity of pathology that can be seen with aspiration diseases. |
