Document: Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) was first described by Beasley in a pathologic study of 17 patients with acute/subacute lung injury in 2002 [1] . It was defined as a rare type of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in 2013 [2] . A few studies have reported the characteristics of AFOP in recent years, but the etiology is still not fully understood. AFOP may occur at any age, but usually presents in the elderly people. The clinical presentation of AFOP is nonspecific and often similar to common pneumonia, so it is easily misdiagnosed. The confirmation of AFOP diagnosis depends on pathological biopsy.
