Follicular bronchiolitis (FB) is a benign progressive lung disease. It is
characterized with lymphoplasmocellular infiltration and hyperplastic follicles
in the peribronchial areas in the small airways. Follicular bronchiolitis should
be considered in cases where chronic cough, recurrent upper respiratory tract
infections and progressive dyspnea are observed in children. The diagnosis should
be supported by lung biopsy. A 8-year old female patient presented to our
hospital with complaints including continuing cough and wheezing. Bilateral
extensive rales and rhonchi in the lungs were heard on auscultation and lung
graphy revealed reticuloglandular appearance. Bilateral extensive septal
thickennings, reticulonodular appearance, patchy bronchiectasis, bronchiolectasis
and peribronchial thickennings were found on high-resolution thoracal
computarized tomography. A diagnosis of follicular bronchiolitis was made as a
result of lung biopsy. Improvement was observed in the complaints and findings of
our patient after methylprednisolone treatment. This patient was presented to
emphasize rare interstitial lung diseases should also be considered in children
who present with a clinical picture of chronic bronchial obstruction and do not
respond to standard treatment.
