eosinophilic pneumonia lung biopsy shows eosinophils, giant cells, bronchiolitis obliterans


Lung biopsy usually shows interstitial and alveolar eosinophils with multinucleated giant cells and associated bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia.1

The size of forceps transbronchial biopsy may be too small, and transbronchial cryotherapy may be difficult.[^2]
