Document: In 2002, Beasley [1] described a new histological pattern of lung injury named AFOP, which is characterized by intraalveolar fibrin balls and organizing pneumonia with a patchy distribution. Sporadic case reports have been published on this newly recognized clinicopa thological entity that is still underdiagnosed. In 2013, it was finally defined as a rare type of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society [2] . AFOP is rarely reported worldwide. We searched the PubMed using the keywords "AFOP" or "acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia", and identified 74 relevant articles. The age of the patients was diverse from infant to elderly [35] .
