A case of pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma that underwent spontaneous remission is presented. A 23-year old man presented with dry cough and fever. Chest X-ray film revealed diffuse reticulo-nodular infiltrates in the middle and upper lung fields. Chest CT and HRCT showed multiple cystic lesions with thick walls and small nodules predominantly in the inner zone. Based on radiographic findings, pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma was suspected. Bronchoalveolar lavage cell data showed lymphocyte and eosinophil alveolitis with no increase of CD 1 lymphocytes. The symptoms and radiographic findings improved markedly within 4 months after the onset of symptoms without treatment and upon cessation of smoking. Chest CT and HRCT showed that the cystic walls were thinner and that the small nodules had decreased. Thoracoscopic lung biopsy revealed granulomatous lesions consisting of CD 1 and S-100 protein positive histiocytes with infiltration of eosinophils and fibrous lesions. Pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma was diagnosed. There has been no recurrence for 1 year.
