Organizing pneumonia (OP) is an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia characterized radiologically by the patchy peripheral areas of ground-glass opacities and consolidation. It is commonly associated with a variety of conditions such as connective tissue diseases (CTD), drugs, infections, malignancy, radiation exposure, post-transplant, and other interstitial pneumonia. There are no specific clinical manifestations unless there is an underlying etiology. We present a series of such cases.
