Se describe un caso de bronquiolitis folicular en una mujer de 63 años que se inició como una neumopatía intersticial difusa. El diagnóstico se realizó mediante biopsia pulmonar abierta y la paciente fue seguida en nuestra unidad hasta su fallecimiento. El curso clínico y la respuesta al tratamiento fue similar al de la fibrosis pulmonar idiopática. No se encontró ninguna enfermedad del colágeno asociada. Se revisa la histología, formas clínicas de presentación y tratamiento de esta enfermedad.

A 63-year-old woman with follicular bronchiolitis presenting as diffuse intersticial pneumopathy is described. Diagnosis was made by open lung biopsy and the patient was treated in our department until death. The course of disease and response to treatment was similar to that observed in cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. No associated collagen disease was found. This report reviews the histological and clinical signs of this disease, as well as treatment.
